Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- Honey to taste (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, pour the 2 cups of almond milk and add 1 cup of rolled oats. Place the pan over medium heat.
- Stir the oats and almond milk continuously to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing heat if needed.
- Cook the oatmeal for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the almond milk and reached a creamy, smooth consistency.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the oatmeal rest for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Divide the cooked oatmeal equally between two serving bowls.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of peanut butter over each bowl, allowing it to slightly melt into the warm oatmeal.
- Arrange sliced banana and strawberry pieces on top of each bowl, distributing them evenly.
- If desired, drizzle a small amount of honey over the oatmeal for additional sweetness.
- Serve immediately while the oatmeal is warm and enjoy the creamy, fruity, and nutty combination.
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, feel free to add more honey or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
- Choose Your Fruits: While this recipe features bananas and strawberries, feel free to mix it up! Blueberries, raspberries, or even diced apples can add a delightful twist.
- Perfectly Creamy Oats: Stir the oats continuously while cooking to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Meal Prep: Make a larger batch of oatmeal and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat with a splash of almond milk for a quick breakfast option!
- Nut Butter Variations: If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, try almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile that still packs a nutritional punch.
- Add Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Chopped nuts, seeds, or a dollop of yogurt can enhance the nutritional value and add extra texture.Enjoy crafting your perfect bowl of almond milk oatmeal, and don’t forget to share your delicious creations with friends and family!
