Hey there, breakfast lovers! _sips coffee_ Let me tell you about my absolute favorite morning recipe that’ll make you jump out of bed faster than finding out there’s a massive sale at Nordstrom.
This Maple-Pecan Banana Oatmeal Power Bowl isn’t just your average breakfast – it’s like a warm hug for your tummy that’ll keep you energized until lunch. Trust me, I’ve tested this recipe countless times (my family thinks I’m obsessed, and they’re not wrong! 😉).
Here’s what you’ll need (I know you’re already getting excited):
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 2 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
– 2 cups almond milk (or any milk – we don’t judge here)
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 1/4 cup chopped pecans
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: A dollop of Greek yogurt (because why not?)
Now, let’s get cooking, gorgeous!
1. First, mash one banana in a saucepan (take out those Monday morning frustrations!). Add your oats, milk, chia seeds, and that pinch of salt.
1. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Keep stirring occasionally – this is your moment to practice those arm workouts! 😅
1. While that’s cooking, toast your pecans in a separate pan until they’re fragrant. Oh. My. Goodness. That smell! _chef’s kiss_

1. Once your oatmeal reaches your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes), remove from heat and stir in half the maple syrup and cinnamon.
1. Now for the fun part – assembly! Pour your oatmeal into a cute bowl (presentation is everything, honey!). Slice the remaining banana, arrange it on top, sprinkle those toasted pecans, drizzle the remaining maple syrup, and add a dollop of Greek yogurt if you’re feeling fancy.
The result? A breakfast that’s not only Instagram-worthy but packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It’ll keep you full and focused through those morning meetings – no more embarrassing tummy growls during your Zoom calls!
