Why I ❤️ it Recipe Ingredients Preparation
Rolled oats breakfast.
Why I ❤️ it
What makes this rolled oats porridge better is that I've used rolled oats, instead of quick-cooking oats, which improves the texture and mouthfeel of this hot cereal dish, one of my favorite ones and one even picky kids will love it.
The added banana and walnuts make it an even more exciting and nutrient and vitamins-rich dish. It is gluten-free, it's rich in antioxidants, and it has a lower glycemic index than instant oats and other cereal grains, among many other health benefits.

Utensils and tools
Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats flakes (not instant)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar, divided
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated)
- ¼ teaspoon clove powder
- 9 cup milk (whole or skim), (use a substitute if you wish)
- 1 tablespoon butter (salted), optional
- 1 cup sliced banana, or fruit of your choice (strawberries, plums, etc.)
- ½ cup walnuts, or nut of your choice, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
Preparation
Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready.
Step 1: Soaking oats
In a medium pot or saucepan, mix oatmeal, salt, half the sugar, stick of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and milk. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 2: Cooking the oats
Bring the oat mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it breaks the boil, lower heat and stir with a wooden spoon, reducing the liquids until you obtain a soft porridge. Stir in the butter to combine with the oatmeal mix.
Remove from the heat.
Step 3: Serving
Serve the oatmeal in individual bowls, and garnish with banana and walnuts. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and cinnamon powder.
Top tips
- You can substitute other fruits for banana; some great choices are strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- If you don't like or are allergic to walnuts, you can add other types of nuts and seeds.
- Use soy or almond milk for a lactose-intolerant-friendly and vegan version.
- You can sweeten it with maple syrup, or honey if you are keeping an eye on your blood sugar.

This oatmeal dish is very comforting and definitely not boring.
my abuela made the bomb oatmeal with coconut milk,sugar,cinnamon,milk and it was a creamy bowl of goodness.
Who says breakfast can't be both healthy and delicious? This tastes like dessert in the morning. 🤯
I made it and stored them in separate portions and froze them without banana or walnut. Great little dish.
I drizzled it with honey instead of sugar, it's more natural and tasted great.
