Oatmeal with banana and cinnamon is a wholesome, naturally sweet Mexican breakfast. This vegetarian, healthy dish is a fresh, family-friendly option for weight loss and calorie deficit.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup old-fashioned oats, 2 cups milk, and 1 cup water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid oats sticking to the bottom.
Once simmering, add 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp vanilla extract. Stir well to evenly distribute seasonings.
Slice 2 bananas and add them to the pot. Stir and continue to cook on medium-low heat for 6–8 minutes, until the oats are creamy and bananas have softened.
Remove from heat and let the oatmeal rest for 1–2 minutes to thicken before serving. Portion into bowls and serve warm.
