Cooking Tips
- Use rolled oats for a creamy texture, but steel-cut oats work well if you prefer a chewier bite.
- Add the rosemary early while cooking to infuse the oats with its flavor without overpowering the fruit.
- Mash the banana slightly before stirring it in to create a natural sweetness and creaminess.

Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful
This dish combines the natural sweetness of banana and blueberries with the unique, aromatic touch of rosemary. It’s a comforting and nutritious way to start your day, packed with fiber, antioxidants, and subtle herbal flavor that makes each bite interesting.
Directions
Pour the almond milk into a saucepan and add the rosemary and a pinch of salt. Heat it over medium-high until it just comes to a boil. Once it's bubbling, stir in the oats, sliced banana, and flaxseed. Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed—this usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes. Next, toss in the blueberries and a splash of lemon juice. Keep cooking for another minute or two, until the oatmeal reaches the texture you like. Give it a final stir, then serve warm and enjoy!
