Save Recipe

Grab a large glass measuring up (mine is the 4 cup size), place half a banana in the bottom and mash it all up. Add your oats, and your milk of choice. My favorites are Coconut or Almond milk, but regular dairy milk works great too.

Add a bit of cinnamon, dash of salt, splash of vanilla and your favorite sweetener (honey, maple syrup, brown sugar or even a packet of truvia, the later being what I usually use) and stir it all to combine. Cook in the microwave for 3 minutes…

Then top with the other half of the banana, chocolate chips and sliced almonds. I’ve been known to add a splash of coffee creamer on as well. So good. You can really add whatever toppings you like. If you are looking for lower calorie, try adding fresh berries and a dollop of yogurt on the side instead of the chocolate chips and almonds. So many great options with this basic recipe, my friends.

Hope you get a chance to try it!
