🥘Ingredients

For the Drink

1 cup rolled oats
1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup ice cubes (optional, for cold version)

For Garnish (Optional)

Ground cinnamon for dusting
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans

👨‍🍳Directions

1Place the rolled oats, sliced banana, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a blender.
2Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no oat pieces remaining.

📝Notes

Tips: Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture. For a vegan version, choose almond or oat milk and ensure the maple syrup is vegan. You can also add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein. The drink thickens as it sits, so stir before drinking if made ahead.
