Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 dash sea salt
  • 1 T chia seeds (optional)
  • 1.25 cup water (or milk of choice)
  • 1 banana (mashed)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • 1 T honey (optional)
  • 1/4 cup frozen or fresh berries (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place a pot on the stovetop. Fill it with the desired amount of oats.
  2. Dash the cinnamon, nutmeg (optional), and sea salt on top.
  3. Next, throw some water on those oats. Some people choose to use almond or oat milk to make the oats creamier, but water works just fine!
  4. Turn the burner on high, and boil the water and the oats so that the oats start to absorb the liquid.
  5. While your mixture is boiling, mash ½ or 1 full banana
  6. Add the mashed banana to the oats, reduce heat to medium so that the mixture simmers
  7. While that mixture is simmering, this is your time to add your desired add-ins--this can be protein powder, chia seeds, collagen, etc.!
  8. Turn the heat on low, mix all together
  9. Take the mixture off the burner, and add to a bowl or mug
  10. Top the oatmeal with that ½ banana, berries, or honey (or even all of the above)
  11. ENJOY!
