Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Meanwhile, peel the ripe banana. Slice half of it into thin rounds for topping and mash the other half with a fork in a small bowl.
Step 4
Once the oatmeal starts simmering, lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the mashed banana, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and chia seeds, if using.
Step 5
Continue to cook the oatmeal, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken slightly more.
Step 7
Divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
Step 8
Top each bowl with the banana slices you set aside earlier, and sprinkle with optional toppings like chopped nuts and fresh berries for added flavor and texture.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your creamy vegan oatmeal!
