  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 cup water

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 medium ripe bananas

23 tablespoons maple syrup (divided)

1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

24 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

2. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until oats are tender and creamy. Adjust liquid as needed.

3. While oats cook, slice bananas into 1/2-inch rounds.

4. In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add banana slices in a single layer and drizzle with 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat.

5. Remove cooked oatmeal from heat. Stir in remaining 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup to taste.

6. Divide oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with caramelized banana slices, fresh blueberries, and a dollop or drizzle of peanut butter.

7. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats; avoid instant oats. Caramelize bananas just before serving for optimal flavor. To make vegan, use plant-based milk and coconut oil. Leftover oatmeal can be refrigerated for 3-4 days; reheat with a splash of milk. Add fresh toppings after reheating.
