This oatmeal bowl is quick, nourishing and totally customizable. The combination of creamy oats, fresh fruit and crunchy toppings keeps every bite interesting. It’s an easy go-to for busy mornings or a relaxed brunch at home.
Combine milk, chia seeds, cinnamon and instant oats in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes until hot, stirring every 30 seconds.
Add toppings in desired quantities on top of the cooked oatmeal. You can arrange them neatly or just throw them on.
Notes
Use ripe banana: It blends in easily and adds natural sweetness. Don’t overcook the oats: Keep them soft and creamy, not dry. Mix before eating: Stir everything together for the best texture and flavor. Make ahead: Prep the oat base the night before and just reheat in the morning.
