Notes

This recipe contains no egg. The focus keyword reflects the search phrase, while the supplied competitor recipe uses banana, rolled oats, milk, cottage cheese, and cinnamon.

Use a ripe banana for more natural sweetness. The riper the banana, the sweeter the oatmeal will taste.

Use rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats.

You can use dairy milk, unsweetened almond milk, or another milk of choice.

Full-fat cottage cheese can create an especially creamy and satisfying texture.

If using frozen berries, stir them in halfway through microwaving. Add fresh berries after cooking.

Optional toppings include pecans, walnuts, sliced almonds, peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, chia seeds, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, fruit, berries, shredded coconut, yogurt, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, applesauce, honey, or maple syrup.

Store leftovers in an airtight container, or tightly cover the bowl, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Reheat leftovers in the microwave until warmed through.
