Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
Toppings
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
- Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, preparing the base for the oatmeal.
- Cook Oats: Add the rolled oats to the boiling water, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the water.
- Prepare Toppings: While the oats are cooking, slice the banana, chop the nuts, and gather the mixed berries for topping.
- Flavor Oatmeal: Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the ground cinnamon and honey to add warmth and sweetness.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, then top with the sliced banana, mixed berries, and chopped nuts for texture and flavor.
- Optional Sweetening: Drizzle additional honey on top if you prefer a sweeter taste, then enjoy your nutritious and energizing breakfast.
Notes
- Using rolled oats ensures a creamy texture, but steel-cut oats can be used with longer cooking time.
- Feel free to substitute nuts with seeds like chia or flaxseeds for variety.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using maple syrup as an alternative.
- For a creamier consistency, replace part of the water with milk or a plant-based milk.
- This recipe is easily doubled to serve more people.
