Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the half banana into thin rounds and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, pour 1 cup of milk and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Once the milk starts to boil, stir in the 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Allow the oatmeal to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
- If the oatmeal becomes too thick, you can add a little more milk to achieve the preferred texture.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Stir in the sliced banana and 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries. Mix well to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the oatmeal.
- Transfer the oatmeal mixture to a serving bowl.
- If desired, garnish with a few extra banana slices or cranberries on top for a decorative touch.
- Your cranberry-banana oatmeal breakfast bowl is now ready to enjoy! Serve warm for a comforting and nutritious start to your day.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for added sweetness.
- Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use less milk or let the oatmeal cook a bit longer.
- For a vegan option, substitute cow’s milk with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Top with nuts or seeds, like almonds or chia seeds, for extra crunch and nutrition.
