Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups water
  • 2 medium bananas (smashed well, use 1 if preferred)
  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional Toppings and Add-ins

  • Nut butter
  • Chopped nuts or seeds
  • Fresh fruit
  • Dried fruit
  • Additional spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger)
  • Cocoa powder
  • Chocolate chips
  • Granola
  • Plant milk
  • Pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare bananas: Smash the bananas thoroughly until they form a smooth purée, providing natural sweetness and creaminess to the oatmeal.
  2. Combine water and banana: Pour the water into a pot on the stove and whisk in the smashed banana until well incorporated, ensuring an even mixture.
  3. Cook oats: Add the rolled oats to the pot with water and banana, then turn the heat to medium-high. Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce heat to low, add ground cinnamon and salt, and cook while stirring occasionally until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness. This usually takes under 10 minutes.
  4. Serve and customize: Spoon the creamy oatmeal into individual bowls and top or stir in your choice of nut butter, nuts, seeds, fresh or dried fruits, additional spices, or sweeteners like pure maple syrup or plant milk for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the recipe remains gluten-free.
  • Adjust the number of bananas based on your preference for sweetness and texture.
  • Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Customize toppings according to dietary needs and taste preferences.
  • The recipe is naturally dairy-free and can be made vegan by choosing plant-based toppings.
