Healthy Oat Breakfast Recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/2 banana, sliced
• 1/4 cup berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
• 1 tablespoon natural nut butter (almond, peanut, or your preference)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• Nuts or seeds for topping (e.g., sliced almonds, sunflower seeds)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Oats:

   • In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk.
   • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened (usually 5-7 minutes).

2. Add Flavor and Nutrients:

   • Stir in cinnamon and chia seeds for added flavor and nutritional benefits.
   • You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

3. Top with Fruits:

   • Add sliced banana and berries on top of the cooked oats.

4. Drizzle with Nut Butter:

   • Drizzle a tablespoon of your preferred nut butter over the oats. This adds healthy fats and enhances the flavor.

5. Sweeten if Desired:

   • If you like it sweeter, drizzle honey or maple syrup on top. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.

6. Add Crunch with Nuts or Seeds:

   • Sprinkle nuts or seeds (e.g., sliced almonds or sunflower seeds) for a satisfying crunch.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

• Transfer the oat mixture to a bowl and enjoy your nutritious and delicious breakfast!
