Oatmeal with banana and honey

Oatmeal with banana and honey sounds like a delicious and nutritious breakfast! It’s a great way to start your day with a mix of complex carbs, natural sweetness, and a bit of protein. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey (to taste)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, cinnamon, or a handful of berries

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the oats and milk (or non-dairy milk) with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened.

  2. Add Banana: Stir in the sliced banana and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the banana is warmed through and slightly softened.

  3. Sweeten: Remove the saucepan from heat and drizzle honey over the oatmeal. Stir to combine.

  4. Serve: Transfer to bowls and add any optional toppings you like. Enjoy!

If you want to switch things up, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
