Ingredients
- ½ cup milk or milk alternative
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon honey (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- Dash kosher salt
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 medium banana, thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, water, honey, almond extract, and salt. Bring to a boil.
- Add oats and banana slices, reduce heat, and stir to combine. Simmer for 4-6 minutes or until oats are plump and liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat and let settle for another minute before eating. Oatmeal will thicken as it cools.
- Top with toasted almonds. Enjoy!
Notes
The banana may add enough sweetness for your taste, so feel free to leave the honey out.
Don’t over-stir, or the oats will become gummy. Just a quick stir to mix everything together, and that should do the trick!
