Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats (or rolled oats; reduce cooking time by 5 minutes)
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 overripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook the Oats: Add the steel-cut oats and almond milk to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using rolled oats, reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.
- Thicken the Mixture: Once the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and have thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the Flavor: Stir in the mashed banana, coconut oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, and salt. Whisk everything together with a fork until the oatmeal is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or extra peanut butter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a sweeter oatmeal, adjust the maple syrup to taste.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you prefer a nut-free option.
- The oatmeal will continue to thicken as it cools, so add a splash of almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency when reheating.
