Ingredients

1 banana

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

1/3 cup quick oats

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  2. Beat the egg: Crack the egg into the same bowl and beat it together with the mashed banana until well combined.
  3. Add oats and spices: Stir in the oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
  4. Cook the scrambled oats: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the oat mixture. Stir occasionally using a heat-safe spatula until the oats reach a scrambled egg consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Serve and top: Spoon the scrambled oats into a bowl and top with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Toppings: Try adding sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or granola for extra flavor and texture.
  • Sweeteners: Drizzle with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for added sweetness.
  • Flavor Add-ins: Add nutmeg, cardamom, or a spoonful of peanut butter for extra richness and flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
  • Can I use regular oats? Yes, but quick oats work best for a smoother consistency and faster cooking time.
