Plant-Based Banana Oatmeal – Clean, Fast, and Delicious

This is the best plant-based banana oatmeal recipe you will ever try. Not only is it packed with clean ingredients, but it is also super tasty and simple to prepare. It is loaded with healthy chia seeds, flaxseed, fruits, and nuts. These nutritious ingredients will keep you satisfied until lunch time.

A ripe mashed banana adds an all-natural sweetness to the oatmeal. Chia seeds add a pudding-like consistency. The chia seeds also give you desired fiber and protein. Flaxseed gives you those Omega-3’s.

If you like things extra sweet, then use an extra-ripe banana. This will keep the oatmeal clean and free of sugars. You can also add a dash of cinnamon to make your perfect breakfast on a crisp autumn morning.
