- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large ripe banana mashed
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons whole milk for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 3/4 cups of water, and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the oatmeal, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the water and the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until they are fully incorporated into the oatmeal.
- Mash one large ripe banana with a fork in a small bowl until smooth, then fold it completely into the cooked oatmeal until the mixture is uniform in color.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries, being careful not to overmix to prevent them from breaking down completely.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls. Serve immediately, drizzling with 1 tablespoon of whole milk per bowl if desired.
