Raspberry And Banana Oatmeal Recipe

No refined sugar. Pure maple syrup.

Maple syrup is the perfect natural sweetener for this raspberry and banana oatmeal recipe. It adds a rich, warm flavor that complements the tartness of the raspberries and the sweetness of the banana.

I love using dark pure maple syrup because it’s a healthier alternative to processed sugars and gives the oatmeal a comforting, earthy taste.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. When you’re ready to eat, simply warm it up on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of milk to loosen it up.

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes! Frozen raspberries work great in this recipe. Just thaw them a bit and add them directly to the oatmeal while it is cooking to warm them up. They may release a little more juice, but that just adds to the flavor!

Can I make this oatmeal ahead of time?

Definitely! You can prepare the oatmeal the night before and store it in the fridge. In the morning, just warm it up and top with fresh raspberries and your favorite toppings.

Can I substitute the maple syrup with something else?

Yes, if you prefer, you can swap maple syrup with honey, agave, or another sweetener of your choice. Adjust the amount to your taste.
