Ingredients List
- 1 cup oatmeal (rolled or old-fashioned oats)
- 1 glass of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 apple, chopped
- 1 banana, sliced
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Oatmeal
In a small pot, combine the oatmeal and milk.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and become soft (about 5 minutes). If you prefer a creamier consistency, add more milk or water.
Step 2: Add the Fruit
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat.
Stir in the chopped apple and sliced banana. The heat of the oatmeal will soften the fruit slightly and enhance its natural sweetness.
Step 3: Serve
Scoop the oatmeal into a bowl and enjoy immediately.
You can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a handful of nuts or seeds for extra flavor and texture if desired.
Additional Notes
- Vegan Option: Use almond milk, soy milk, or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Sweetener: If you like a sweeter oatmeal, you can drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup, but the fruit adds plenty of natural sweetness.
- Flavor Options: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. You can also mix in chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrition.

Storage & Make-Ahead
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2–3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
