Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Banana: Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. Set aside a few slices for topping if desired.
- Almonds: Roughly chop the almonds. You may toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes for extra flavor, if desired.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 3/4 cups water to a boil (you can adjust the amount of water based on desired oatmeal consistency).
- Add the oats and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the raisins and banana slices (excluding any reserved for topping).
- Pour in the milk and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency and the banana has softened.
- Stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Ladle the oatmeal into bowls.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds and any reserved banana slices on top of the oatmeal.
- Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious and delicious breakfast!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter flavor without having to add extra sugar.
- If you prefer a creamier consistency, you can use whole milk or a milk alternative like almond or oat milk.
- Toasting the almonds beforehand can enhance their flavor and give your oatmeal an extra crunch.
- For a richer taste, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon while cooking the oats.
- If you like your oatmeal thicker, reduce the amount of milk; for a thinner consistency, add more milk or a bit of water.
