Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup oat milk
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
1 banana, mashed or sliced
1/4 cup fresh berries
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp almond butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

Add the oats, oat milk, water, and a pinch of salt into a saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally so the oats cook evenly and become creamy.
Cook the oatmeal for 5 to 7 minutes until the oats are soft and thickened.
Stir in cinnamon, mashed banana, or maple syrup during the final minutes of cooking for added sweetness and flavor.
Top the oatmeal with fresh berries, almond butter, chia seeds, walnuts, or coconut flakes.
Serve warm immediately with extra oat milk or toppings if desired.

Notes

For extra creamy oatmeal, add a splash of oat milk before serving. Customize with berries, bananas, almond butter, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or coconut flakes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently while stirring and adding plant-based milk as needed.
