One of the things that I missed a lot while I was on a paleo diet is this oatmeal. Oats and oat products are not allowed on the paleo diet.

After 2 years, I decided to put it back in my diet and I can say that it made my life much easier. It may sound dramatic, but it is a living truth. I want to make it because the meal is prepared in 5 minutes, the oatmeal is available in literally every supermarket and with different toppings I get a different taste, so I can never get bored.

In addition, oats are full of nutrients and are a great option for a healthy meal. This is my best classic recipe, but of course feel free to be creative and add / subtract according to your personal taste.

If you want to spice up your oatmeal with some extra refreshment, try out these recipes:

The Best Comforting Creamy Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 250 ml. nut milk (I usually use almond milk, but any milk will be fine)
• 50 gr. oats
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (or more as desired)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 banana, coarsely mashed **
  ** Bananas are optional and can be omitted freely. I want to add it because it gives a more creamy and thick taste to the oatmeal, but without it it would be equally delicious.

Method of preparation

1. In a small saucepan, add all the ingredients (except the banana) and place on a low-medium heat.
2. Mix all ingredients with a spoon to combine.
3. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
4. It takes about 5-6 minutes, the oatmeal is ready when the oats absorb the liquid and you will get a thickened mixture.
5. Add the coarsely mashed banana to the saucepan with oatmeal and mix again.
6. Add to a deep bowl and add toppings as desired. My favorites are toasted nuts, granola, fresh fruit, nut butter, chia seeds etc.
7. For the best taste – it is consumed warm!
