Enjoy a warm and nutritious Creamy Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl that’s perfect for a cozy start to your day. This wholesome recipe combines rolled oats cooked in milk, topped with fresh banana slices, blueberries, peanut butter, dark chocolate, and a sprinkle of oats or granola, with an optional drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or almond milk)

Toppings

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1–2 squares dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp oats or granola (for topping)

Optional

  • Honey or maple syrup (to drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Cook Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats with 2 cups of milk (dairy or almond) and cook over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes creamy and the oats are fully tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Serve Base: Pour the creamy oatmeal into a serving bowl, making sure to scrape all the goodness from the pan.
  3. Add Fruits: Top the oatmeal with sliced banana and fresh blueberries to add natural sweetness and bursts of flavor.
  4. Add Peanut Butter: Spoon 1 tablespoon of peanut butter over the oatmeal to add richness and protein.
  5. Add Dark Chocolate: Place 1-2 squares of dark chocolate on top while the oatmeal is still warm so it slightly melts into the bowl for a touch of indulgence.
  6. Sprinkle Crunch: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of oats or granola on top to add a delightful crunch and texture contrast.
  7. Optional Sweeten: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bowl if you like additional sweetness. Serve warm immediately for the best taste and comfort.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk for a vegan version.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup as desired.
  • Use any seasonal fresh fruits instead of banana and blueberries for variety.
  • To reduce sugar, omit the honey/maple syrup and rely on the natural sweetness from fruits.
  • For a nuttier flavor, swap peanut butter with almond or cashew butter.
