Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3 cups water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 medium bananas sliced (use just-ripe)
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt optional

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Spoon
  • Measuring Cups
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Add oats and water (or almond milk) to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and creamy.
  2. Stir in chia seeds while the oats are still warm to help them thicken naturally.
  3. Remove from heat and let the oats rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Divide the oats evenly into bowls.
  5. Top each serving with sliced banana and a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
  6. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon before serving.

Notes

  • Use slightly green or just-ripe bananas for better appetite control.
  • This recipe works well as a make-ahead breakfast—store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For extra protein, add a scoop of plain protein powder or extra yogurt.
  • Avoid sweeteners; the banana provides enough natural sweetness.
