Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats (use rolled oats if preferred, reducing cook time by 5 minutes)
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 overripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oats: In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add Oats and Banana: Stir in the steel-cut oats, mashed banana, and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the mixture cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats become tender and creamy. If using rolled oats, cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Add Coconut Oil and Maple Syrup: Once the oats have thickened, stir in the coconut oil and maple syrup. This will add a light sweetness and enhance the creamy texture.
- Whip the Oatmeal: Using a whisk or spoon, stir vigorously to “whip” the oatmeal, creating a light and fluffy consistency.
- Add Peanut Butter: Spoon in the peanut butter, gently swirling it into the oatmeal without fully mixing, for a rich, marbled effect.
- Serve: Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with any additional toppings you love, such as sliced bananas, nuts, or seeds. Serve warm and enjoy!
