Ingredients

Oats

  • 75 g quick oats
  • 375 ml milk (see note 1)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp milk (see note 1)
  • ½ banana, sliced
  • 3 strawberries, sliced
  • 1 tbsp nuts of choice, I used walnuts
  • 1 tbsp coconut flakes
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Combine the oats ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continually, for 2–3 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency. The oats will continue to thicken as they cool.
  • Serve in a bowl topped with the additional milk, banana, strawberries, nuts, coconut flakes, maple syrup and cinnamon.

Notes

Note 1 – You can use any milk of your choice. For a less creamy consistency, use half water and half milk.
Additional topping suggestions – Any fruit (such as sliced apples or raspberries), dried fruit (apricot or cranberries), cocoa nibs, brown sugar instead of maple syrup.
