Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup berries (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats and almond milk. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook the oats for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they reach a creamy and thick consistency. The oats should be tender but not mushy.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the peanut butter until it's completely incorporated and creates a smooth, creamy texture.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup into the oatmeal and mix well to distribute the sweetness evenly.
- Transfer the oatmeal into two serving bowls, spreading it evenly.
- Top each bowl with sliced banana, arranging the pieces artfully across the surface of the oatmeal.
- Sprinkle chia seeds over the top for added nutrition and texture.
- If desired, scatter fresh berries around the bowl for additional flavor and visual appeal.
- Let the oatmeal cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow the toppings to settle and the temperature to become more comfortable for eating.
Tips
- Choose high-quality rolled oats for the best texture and nutrition - organic, steel-cut, or old-fashioned oats work best.
- Use almond milk at room temperature to ensure even cooking and prevent clumping.
- Stir continuously while cooking to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- For extra creaminess, let the peanut butter melt completely into the hot oatmeal.
- Experiment with different toppings like sliced almonds, dark chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for variety.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the almond milk slightly; for a thinner texture, add a bit more liquid.
- For meal prep, you can make this recipe the night before and reheat in the morning, adding fresh toppings just before serving.
- Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter for the healthiest option and most authentic flavor.
