Strawberry & Grape-topped Banana/Maple Oats
Break-fizzle to-dizzzy muh name is Izzzy. Ok that’s enough.
Same concept as my Fluffed Cinnamon & Banana Oats with Blueburries, just with little bits of strawberry chopped into the oats for texture and extra sweetness. Extra fruit on top = best.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or other milk of your choice)
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 banana, sliced
- strawberries: 1/4 cup diced finely + 1/4 cup chopped roughly
- 1/4 cup grapes sliced grapes + handful on top
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave
- handful of raisins
- 1 Tablespoon granola (optional)
Combine oats, water, milk, sliced banana, and 1/4 cup of strawberries (finely chopped) in a small pan. Cook over medium heat until oatmeal starts to bubble (3-5 mins). Once bubbling, stir vigorously until the banana is mashed in. Pour into a bowl and top with roughly chopped strawbs, whole or sliced grapes, maple syrup, raisins, and of course dat sprinkle of cinnamon.

Blueberry Oatmeal
Ingredients:
Method:
1)Add oats to a small pot on medium heat. Mix in milk and water.
2) Stir and wait 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
3) In the meantime, measure and set aside your blueberries.
4) Check on the oatmeal, and lower heat to dial #2 (low heat).
5) Add cinnamon, pure vanilla, maple syrup, and fresh blueberries.
6) Stir and allow this to cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Try to pop the blueberries… this will release all the blueberry goodness and the color.
7) Serve hot. Ain’t it good?
Oats help reduce cholesterol and are a good source of Protein and Fiber. Blueberries are a very good source of Vitamin C and Fiber. They are a good source of Vitamin E. In addition, blueberries are an Antioxidant powerhouse. Milk is a very good source of Calcium and Vitamin D. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamins A and K. What could be better for breakfast? This makes a delicious pot with 291 calories if using milk and 315 if made vegan with soy milk.
