Homemade oatmeal with apples and bananas

There’s something truly special about starting your day with a comforting bowl of homemade oatmeal. From the moment you stir those oats into a pot of simmering water, the kitchen fills with a cozy aroma that promises a delicious breakfast ahead.

So why not treat yourself to a nourishing bowl of homemade oatmeal tomorrow morning? Your taste buds—and your body—will thank you for it!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 cups oatmeal
  • Water or oat milk (enough to cover the oats)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 apple, chopped
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Prepare Ingredients: Measure out your oatmeal and gather the other ingredients.
  • Cook Oats: In a medium pot, bring water or oat milk to a gentle boil. Add the oatmeal and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Add Fruit and Spices: Stir in the chopped apple, mashed banana, cinnamon, and cardamom. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Sweeten: Stir in the maple syrup and raisins. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
  • Serve: Scoop the oatmeal into bowls and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Creamier Oatmeal: For an extra creamy texture, use oat milk instead of water and cook the oats a bit longer.
  • Toppings: Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or fresh berries for extra flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or oat milk to loosen the texture.

Enjoy the comforting warmth and goodness of homemade oatmeal, a perfect start to your day!
