Banana Bread Oatmeal Bowl 🍌
A comforting and healthy breakfast bowl, packed with the flavors of banana bread and a creamy, protein-rich boost from cottage cheese. Perfect for a quick and nutritious start to your day!
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats (not quick-cooking or steel-cut)
- 2 cups Water
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 medium Ripe Banana
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese (for extra creaminess and protein!)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Sweetener (or your preferred healthy sweetener, adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional, for a lovely crunch)
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Oats. In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and sea salt. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and fluffy, and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Banana Mix. While your oats are cooking, take out your blender. Add the ripe banana, cottage cheese, brown sugar sweetener, and cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, making sure no cottage cheese curds remain. This is your secret protein boost!
- Step 3: Combine and Warm. Pour the blended banana mixture and the chopped walnuts (if you're using them) into the saucepan with the cooked oats. Stir everything together gently and heat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, just until it's warmed through. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting, healthy breakfast!

Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. This recipe is great for meal prepping!
