Banana Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk or preferred milk
- 1/16 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1/2 well-ripened banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or preferred nut butter (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the ground cinnamon and mashed banana. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
- Serve the oatmeal in bowls, topped with walnuts or pecans, a bit of almond butter and shredded coconut if desired.
