Basic Stovetop Oatmeal Recipe

This basic oatmeal recipe is easy to make on the stovetop and is naturally sweetened with banana!

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup blueberries (optional)
• almond butter, for drizzling on top (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the oats, almond milk, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Thinly slice the banana into the pan and stir to combine.
2. 2Heat the oats over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
3. 3Vigorously stir the oatmeal so the thinly sliced banana “melts” into the oats.
4. 4Allow the oats to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. 5Stir in the blueberries, if using. Drizzle with a small amount of almond butter, if you prefer. Enjoy!
