    Banana oatmeal is one of the healthiest breakfasts. I love this super creamy, delicious oatmeal. Oats are one of the best protein-rich, fiber-rich foods. In addition to that, it is such a quick dish; only 5 minutes is enough with zero preparation time.

    This is my favorite breakfast recipe, mostly my dinner while on my detox diet. Read my weight loss journey. It helps with proper food digestion and helps with losing belly fat.

    Oats- Nutrition & Benefits

    Oats are whole grains and thus one of the healthiest foods for our body and mind. This is a powerhouse of protein and fiber. It's rich in antioxidants. This is highly beneficial if you are on a weight-loss diet. This is a low-calorie, nutrient-dense food. Oats are gluten-free whole grains. However, many who are sensitive to gluten also have allergies to oats. So, if you are gluten-sensitive, check if it's reliable for you or not. However, it's not the same for all.

    Is oatmeal with banana healthy?

    Yes, adding banana to the oatmeal enhances the taste and adds nutrition. Adding bananas to oatmeal boosts potassium, magnesium, niacin, folate, vitamin C, riboflavin, and vitamin B6. Both oats and bananas are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber. So, it's one of the best combinations to cure constipation by maintaining bowel health properly.

    Is it safe to eat oatmeal every day?

    Yes, it is safe to eat oatmeal every day but keep a check on the sweetener you add to your creamy oatmeal. If you are bored with this sweet item, you can make savory oatmeal.

    Can I make this banana oatmeal overnight?

    Though this is a quick 5-minute recipe, you can make your overnight oatmeal. Add some non-dairy yogurt for your creamy overnight oatmeal.

    Is this oatmeal vegan?

    Absolutely. For vegan creamy oatmeal, take almond or oat milk for the best. I have not tried this with coconut milk yet. You can give it a try. For vegetarian oatmeal, consider skimmed milk.

    How to make creamy banana oatmeal in 3 ways?

    Creamy oatmeal is a healthy, easy, and quick recipe that may not take more than 5 minutes in the instant pot or stovetop method. You can also make it in a microwave oven in less than 5 minutes.

    If you wish to make a baked version, please refer to my baked oatmeal recipe.

    Instant pot banana oatmeal

    Put the instant pot in saute mode. Saute 2 cups of oats for 1 - 2 minutes. No need to brown them. Add mashed banana, 1.5 cups of milk of choice, and ยฝ cup of water, followed by a pinch of cinnamon powder and kosher salt. Add sugar at this stage. Close the lid and cook on high flame for 3 minutes. Then, quickly release the pressure.

    Stovetop method

    Heat a pan (saucepan preferably). Saute oatmeal for 1 minute. Pour milk and water (if required) into it. Simmer on low heat for 2 - 3 minutes. Add pureed or mashed bananas to it.

    Then add cinnamon powder and sweetener (sugar/ honey/ maple syrup) and stir in. In 1 minute, remove it from heat. Top it with some more chopped banana and almonds. (you can change your toppings as per choice)

    Topping Ideas for creamy oatmeal with banana

    Chocolate syrup:- Add 1 - 2 tbsp chocolate syrup or just a tbsp of nutella will do that chocolaty magic. Kids will love it.

    Extra Honey/ Maple Syrup:- Drizzle some extra spoonful of honey or maple on top of your bowl of creamy oatmeal.

    Chopped Almonds/ Walnuts/ Raisins:- Add in slivered almonds or walnuts or raisins into it.

    Fresh Fruits/ Berries:- Add some chopped fresh fruits and berries to the bowl of your oatmeal.

    Nutty Butter:- Peanut butter, almond butter

    Roasted Seeds:- Sprinkle some roasted pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, or any of the seeds of your choice.
