This oatmeal bowl is packed with healthy nutrients and you won’t feel hungry for hours! Because it’s high in protein and fiber. Pretty much easy and quick to make.

The ingredients to make Salted Caramel Banana Oatmeal

• Rolled oats –  You can use quick oats as well but in reality any kind works! I prefer this one because they are thicker and have a chewier texture.
• Oat flour – Awesome for thickening the oats! Replace for protein powder or coconut flour.
• Honey or maple syrup –  I used honey but if you are vegan, feel free to add maple syrup!
• Greek yogurt – Any plain yogurt works! If vegan, make sure to add any plant-based yogurt.
• Milk of choice – You can use any kind of plant-based or dairy milk. In my case, I used unsweetened almond milk.
• Water
• Banana – Gives a hint of natural sweeteness and also packed with potassium.
• Sugar-free caramel sauce – I used Smucker’s brand but any caramel sauce works!
• Hemp seeds – Totally optional but if you want to add extra protein. Make sure to add these babies!
