Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup oat milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 banana, cut into chunks
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Optional Toppings:
- Diced apples
- Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- Chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small pot, combine the rolled oats, oat milk, banana chunks, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Cook the Oatmeal: Heat the mixture over high heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to bubble (about 2 minutes). Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low or medium-low and let it gently bubble for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Remove the pot from the heat and pour the oatmeal into a serving bowl.
- Top: Add your choice of optional toppings like diced apples, pepitas, or chia seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Customize the Flavor: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Banana-Free Option: Skip the banana and sweeten with a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar.
- Make It Creamier: Stir in a dollop of almond butter or coconut cream before serving for a richer texture.
- Meal Prep: Double or triple the recipe to store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of oat milk to refresh.
