Ingredients

Scale

  • Optional: pinch of sea salt or cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, bring almond milk, oats, cinnamon, and salt to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy.
  3. Meanwhile, heat coconut oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add banana slices and drizzle with 1 tbsp maple syrup.
  5. Cook bananas for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and caramelized. Remove from heat.

  • Swap almond butter with peanut or cashew butter if preferred.
  • Add chia or flax seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.
