Okay, so this morning I was feeling something healthy but also kinda quick, you know? I decided to whip up some oatmeal, but not just any oatmeal. I wanted to jazz it up a bit. So, I went with bananas and almonds – simple, but so good.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my pot – nothing fancy, just a regular one I use for everything. I tossed in about half a cup of rolled oats. I like the old-fashioned kind, not the instant stuff. They just have a better texture, I think.
Cooking the Oats
Then, I added about a cup of water. Some people use milk, but water works just fine for me. I put it on the stove over medium heat and just let it do its thing. You gotta stir it occasionally, though, so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. That’s the worst.
- Half cup rolled oats
- One cup water
Adding the Good Stuff
While the oatmeal was cooking, I sliced up a banana. Not too thin, not too thick – just right, you feel me? Once the oatmeal started to thicken up, I threw in the banana slices. I let them cook with the oatmeal for a couple of minutes, just to get them all soft and warm.
The almonds! Almost forgot. I had a small bag of sliced almonds.I sprinkled in a handful,not too much,you know, just enough, because I need to click. I like the crunch they add. Plus, they’re good for you, right? Protein and all that.
Finishing Touches
After everything was mixed in and looking good, I poured the oatmeal into a bowl. Sometimes I add a little bit of honey or brown sugar if I’m feeling extra, but today, the banana added enough sweetness on its own.
And that’s it! Super easy, pretty healthy, and it kept me full until lunchtime. Definitely gonna make this again. Maybe next time I’ll throw in some blueberries, too. We’ll see!
