Strawberry Banana Oat Breakfast Bowl

There’s something deeply comforting about waking up to a breakfast that’s already waiting for you. This Strawberry Banana Oat Breakfast Bowl was born on one of those rushed mornings when time felt tight, but the need for something nourishing felt even bigger. The kind of morning where you want warmth, sweetness, and comfort without standing over a stove.

The soft oats soaking overnight, the sweetness of ripe banana, and the brightness of strawberries come together in a way that feels both familiar and joyful. It’s the kind of breakfast that reminds you to slow down, even if only for a few minutes. Spoon by spoon, it feels like a gentle reset — simple ingredients, minimal effort, and a lot of care.

What makes this bowl special isn’t just how healthy it is, but how forgiving it can be. You can use what you already have, adjust it to your taste, and trust that it will still turn out delicious. It’s perfect for busy weekdays, quiet mornings, and everything in between. Once you make it part of your routine, it quietly becomes something you look forward to.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Lemon Butter Chicken Breast :

Step 1 :

Add the oats, chia seeds, mashed banana, Greek yogurt, strawberries, and milk into a container. I mixed mine in the OXO Good Grips 3 Quart Mixing Bowl, but any bowl or jar at home works just fine.

Step 2 :

Stir everything together until well combined. I used a Cuisinart Silicone Spatula, but a regular spoon works perfectly.

Step 3 :

Taste and add honey and cinnamon as desired. Adjust sweetness based on how ripe your banana is.

Step 4 :

Cover the container and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. I store mine in a Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Container, but any airtight container will do.

Step 5 :

Stir in the morning and enjoy straight from the fridge, or let it sit for a few minutes before eating.
