Have your fruit and a little luxury, too, with this kid-friendly healthy chocolate and banana oatmeal recipe. Short on time in the morning? Try our overnight oatmeal variation.

Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 small banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Directions

  1. Bring water and a pinch of regular salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in oats, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Top with banana, chocolate spread and flaky salt.
