This classic Creamy Stovetop Banana Oatmeal recipe uses rolled oatmeal, banana and a touch of maple syrup. So easy and delicious!

True story, in college I ate oatmeal for breakfast every single day. Like, literally every day. What can I say it’s cheap, filling, healthy, and delicious! My go-to was to throw some oatmeal in the microwave and then top it with globs of peanut butter, chocolate chips, and apple slices. I guess overall not much has changed since I definitely still eat oatmeal on the regular (globs of nut butter included) but luckily I have upped my game at least somewhat since then.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not throwing shade at good ol microwaved oatmeal, but stovetop is where it’s at! I know it takes longer but trust me it’s worth it! It gets so much more creamy and thick than microwaved oatmeal. Plus adding in mashed banana adds even more creaminess along with the perfect amount of sweetness. This Creamy Stovetop Banana Oatmeal has been my new go-to oatmeal recipe for quite some time now and I know you’re going to love it too!

Description

This classic Creamy Stovetop Banana Oatmeal recipe uses rolled oatmeal, banana and a touch of maple syrup. So easy and delicious!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup nut milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup rolled oatmeal
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional if you prefer less sugar)
  • 1–2 scoops collagen or protein powder (optional) I like using vanilla

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients (minus the collagen) into a medium sauce pan. Turn to medium high heat, mix, and bring to a boil.
  2. Turn heat down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring consistently until oatmeal thickens.
  3. Stir in collagen (and additional milk if needed to thin), and cook for another minute
  4. Enjoy with desired toppings!

Notes

  1. You can replace the water with more nut milk or vice versa, I just like the combo. Using only water doesn’t get the oats as creamy as I like and using only nut milk breaks down the oats and makes them more mushy than I prefer.

    Love love love this recipe! It makes oatmeal so much more exciting. Very creamy! I have made it with almond milk and oat milk, both are super good! I also tried it with steel cut oats and it was excellent. Thank you Colleen!!

    This is great! I didn’t realize this was two servings so I ended up with more than I bargained for, but I’ll halve next time! 🙂 I stirred my whey protein powder into the nut milk before adding everything to the stovetop and it turned out great. I’ve never had luck with adding protein to oats before.. thanks!
