Ingredients
-
½ cup rolled oats
-
1 cup water (or almond milk for creamier texture)
-
½ ripe banana (sliced)
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 tablespoon almond butter
-
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
-
A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
-
Cook the oats:
In a small saucepan, bring the water (or almond milk) and a pinch of salt to a boil. Stir in the oats and reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. -
Add chia + cinnamon:
Stir in chia seeds and ground cinnamon. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until chia softens and the mixture thickens. -
Assemble the bowl:
Pour the oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with banana slices, a swirl of almond butter, and a drizzle of maple syrup if using.
-
Finish strong:
Sprinkle extra cinnamon or chia seeds on top for texture and flavor.
Notes
-
Swap almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
-
Want it cold? Prep as overnight oats by mixing everything (except banana) and chilling overnight.
