Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather all the ingredients listed above.
- Set out a medium-sized saucepan.
- In the saucepan, combine the 3 cups of multi-grain oatmeal and 2 cups of water.
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally using a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent the oatmeal from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. This should take around 5-7 minutes. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little more water.
- While the oatmeal is cooking, peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds or small chunks, depending on your preference.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the sliced banana, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal.
- Add 2 tbsp of peanut butter and mix thoroughly until the peanut butter melts and is well incorporated.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp of maple syrup over the oatmeal.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp of cinnamon on top.
- Stir everything together to ensure the syrup and cinnamon are evenly mixed, providing a consistent flavor.
- Divide the oatmeal into individual serving bowls.
- If desired, you can add a dash more maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy a delicious, nutritious bowl of maple banana oats!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, enhancing the overall flavor and texture of your oats.
- Adjust sweetness to taste: If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, consider adding more maple syrup or a drizzle of honey.
- Experiment with toppings: Add a handful of nuts, seeds, or fresh berries on top for added texture and nutrients.
- Use non-dairy milk: Replace water with almond milk or another non-dairy milk to make the oats creamier and add more flavor.
- Prepare in advance: Make a larger batch and refrigerate portions for up to 3 days for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
Maple Banana Oats is both a comforting and healthy way to start your day. In just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a warm, satisfying breakfast that combines the rich flavors of maple syrup and banana with the wholesomeness of multi-grain oatmeal.
