- 1 medium banana ,thinly sliced
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tbsp peanut butter
- ½ cup almond milk (or preferred dairy-free milk alternative)
- ½ cup water
- pinch of salt
- dash of cinnamon
Add the sliced banana to a saucepan.
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour in the water and cook over low heat, stirring for about 1 minute.
Add the almond milk and increase the heat to low-medium. Stir occasionally until the oats soften and the mixture thickens.
Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until fully combined.
Transfer to a bowl and serve warm.
Add optional toppings such as extra banana slices, berries, mango, maple syrup, or additional peanut butter if desired.
- Rolled oats give the best texture for this recipe.
- Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter flavor.
- Stir regularly while cooking to prevent sticking.
- Add extra milk or water if the oatmeal becomes too thick.
- Let the oatmeal rest for 1–2 minutes before serving so the chia seeds can thicken fully.
