Ingredients:
1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats, steel-cut oats, or quick oats)
1 glass of milk (choose from dairy or any plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy milk)
1 apple, chopped into small pieces
1 banana, sliced
3 eggs (scrambled)
60g walnuts, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Oatmeal
Start by bringing 1 glass of milk (about 240ml) to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. You can use any milk of your choice. For a lighter, low-calorie option, go for unsweetened almond milk or skim milk. For those seeking a creamier consistency, whole milk or coconut milk can be great alternatives. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of oatmeal. Stir occasionally to ensure that the oats do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Continue cooking the oatmeal on low heat for 5-7 minutes or until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the milk, forming a creamy consistency. If you like your oatmeal a bit more liquid, feel free to add a splash more milk towards the end of cooking.
Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
While the oatmeal is cooking, scramble 3 eggs in a separate pan. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and crack the eggs into the pan. Stir continuously with a spatula, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set, but still soft and moist. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Set the scrambled eggs aside while you finish preparing the oatmeal.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Once your oatmeal has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chopped apple and sliced banana. The residual heat from the oatmeal will gently soften the fruits, enhancing their natural sweetness and flavor. The fruit also adds extra fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants to your meal, making this oatmeal even more nutritious.
Step 4: Add Walnuts
Now, stir in the chopped walnuts. Walnuts provide a satisfying crunch, as well as a dose of healthy fats (omega-3 fatty acids) and protein. In addition to their nutritional benefits, walnuts also add an earthy flavor that complements the sweetness of the fruit. If you prefer a different type of nut, almonds, pecans, or cashews are great alternatives.
Step 5: Serve
Divide the oatmeal mixture into bowls, and top with your scrambled eggs. This unique combination of warm oatmeal with eggs on top gives you both the comfort of a traditional breakfast and the nourishment of a balanced meal. For extra flavor or decoration, feel free to add a few more slices of fruit, a handful of extra walnuts, or even a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for an added spice kick.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy the burst of flavor and energy that will fuel your day.
