Banana Berry Oatmeal Bowls

This is the breakfast our kids ask for by name. Mashing half a banana right into the oats makes them creamy and sweet without any added sugar, and everyone gets to build their own bowl with toppings.

  • 1 ripe banana half mashed, half sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

  1. Add the oats, milk, mashed half banana, cinnamon and salt to a small pot.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy.
  3. Divide between two bowls. Top with sliced banana, blueberries, strawberries and chia seeds.
