Make this simple stovetop banana oatmeal in under 10 minutes. It uses ripe bananas for natural sweetness, creating a creamy, wholesome breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 2 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Add-ins: 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 teaspoon chia seeds, maple syrup to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, water or milk, mashed banana, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired creamy consistency. Stir often.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Divide the banana oatmeal into serving bowls.
  7. Stir in optional add-ins like peanut butter or chia seeds before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and texture.
  • For a thicker texture, use less liquid. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk or water after cooking.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat with a little liquid.
