- Prepare the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Mash the Banana: While the oats are cooking, take the ripe banana and mash it in a bowl. This will serve as a natural sweetener and add creaminess to your breakfast.
- Mix It All Together: Once the oats have absorbed most of the almond milk and have reached a creamy consistency, stir in the mashed banana, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chia seeds to swell.
- Serve and Add Toppings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Fresh berries will add a pop of color and flavor, while nuts provide a satisfying crunch. A drizzle of honey can also enhance the sweetness, if desired.
- Enjoy Your Bread-Free Breakfast: Dig in and savor every bite of this nutritious and filling breakfast option that leaves bread far behind.
