This Oatmeal with sweet potato is super fast and easy to make in the microwave. Loaded with healthy ingredients and warming spices. Made in the microwave in less than 5 minutes, perfect quick breakfast that reminds me of warm sweet potato pie.
- ½ cup cooked sweet potato, mashed
- 1 banana, divided
- ½-1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumkin spice
- ½ cup (130 ml) quick cooking oats
- ½ cup (130 ml) almond milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon peanut or almond butter
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, or more to taste
- Topping: banana slices, chopped nuts, seeds and maple syrup (optional)
-
In a microwave safe bowl, add half the banana (save the other half for topping) Mash half the banana well, then add the sweet potato and stir well.
-
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and stir well. It will look lumpy but don’t worry, it will all come together after it is cooked.
-
Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, watching so it doesn’t boil over. (Microwave times will vary depending on wattage.)
-
Carefully take out the bowl from the microwave, it will be hot. Stir the oatmeal well and let sit for 1 minute. If you think it is too thick, stir in a little more milk. Top with the reserved half banana, cut in slices, nuts, seeds and a drizzle of maple syrup is desired.
