ADHD Friendly Recipe: Blended Microwave Banana Oats

I love a good baked blended oats, but I never have the time or energy for it. This recipe, though, lets me make it in half the time and still enjoy the benefits that the oats have to offer. 

It is not very high-protein, so I recommend drinking a full glass of milk (dairy or soy) to make this a full breakfast. I drizzle peanut butter on top to get more protein and fat as well. I also recommend adding additional fruit like berries or a kiwi – it can be a bit dry at times, and those fruits have plenty of water and fiber!

Additionally… I highly recommend adding dark chocolate chips to this. It makes it taste significantly better (unless you aren’t a chocolate lover… then disregard!). Opt for 75% or higher dark chocolate for the best brain benefits. 

Enjoy.

P.S. Check out my YouTube video making these oats if you’d like to cook along with me!
