Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Mash the ripe banana in a microwave-safe mug or bowl using a fork until smooth.
- Add oats, milk, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using. Let sit for 1 minute to soften the oats.
- Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds until the top is puffed and the mixture is cooked through.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes. Top with extra honey, cinnamon, or nut butter if desired.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for maximum sweetness and smooth texture.
- To make vegan, use non-dairy milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Try adding a spoonful of peanut butter or shredded coconut for variation.
- Double the recipe in a larger bowl and microwave in short bursts to avoid overflow.
- Enjoy fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated briefly.
