We have been making oatmeal for breakfast more often recently and most of the time it is my preferred breakfast of choice. This banana and blueberry oatmeal is my go to these days. If you are not into baked oats, then check my oats pancakes.
Mostly because it is super easy to make. And this doesn’t have the creamy gloopy texture which regular oatmeal has. Not that I hate it, but this has better texture than regular oats. So people who hate oats for its texture, will love this dish.

Banana helps with the texture and also adds flavour and sweetness. As you all know banana and cinnamon is too good. Blueberries packed with antioxidants adds taste as well as texture. Meanwhile check my antioxidant fruit salad.
