Rosemary-Infused Banana and Blueberry Oatmeal

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 pinch salt ½ cup old-fashioned oats 1 ripe banana, mashed 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (Optional) ¼ cup fresh blueberries 1 tablespoon lemon juice

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating the almond milk, rosemary, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the oats, sliced banana, and flaxseed. Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed—this usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes. Then, add the blueberries and a splash of lemon juice to the pot. Keep cooking for another minute or two, until the oatmeal reaches the consistency you like. Remove the rosemary sprig before serving, and enjoy your warm, comforting breakfast!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor, but dried rosemary works in a pinch.
- Add the blueberries near the end of cooking to keep them juicy and vibrant.
- Mash the banana slightly before stirring it in to create a creamy texture throughout the oatmeal.

Serving ideas

Serve this oatmeal warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. A sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt can add crunch and creaminess. It pairs well with a cup of herbal tea or fresh coffee.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water to loosen the texture if needed. Avoid freezing, as the fruit and oats may become mushy after thawing.
