Text: chocolate banana oatmeal and a photo of the oatmeal

Why I Love This Chocolate Banana Oatmeal


This chocolate banana oatmeal with superfoods is sure to be a winner in everyone's book! Not only does it have chocolate but also banana - a winning combo. While this recipe is great as is, I love that I can add to it - berries, nut butter, and other Your Super powders. It's so fun to be able to get creative with my food.

Additional Mix-Ins For Chocolate Banana Oatmeal With Superfoods


Equally important to the nutrition-packed meal that is oatmeal, is making it taste good! Whether you are trying to increase your fiber intake or watch your cholesterol, your food shouldn't be boring. Below I have listed my favorite mix-ins for this oatmeal in particular. Feel free to get creative by adding your favorite dried fruits, fresh fruits, etc.


Angie's Favorite Mix-Ins


  • Nut butter

  • Fresh apple slices

  • Frozen berries (added in at the beginning of cooking)

  • Brew your favorite tea - I like using a decaf vanilla chia - brew an 8 oz cup of tea and use that as a replacement for the water - you can use any tea you'd like!

  • Dried fruits - raisins, dates, etc.

  • Nuts - peanuts, walnuts, or your favorite nut


What To Substitute For Oatmeal


Although I love chocolate oatmeal, sometimes I don't want oatmeal and I'm always looking for alternatives. A few of my favorite oatmeal substitutes are malto-meal or low-carb oatmeal. Continue reading for a low-carb oatmeal recipe.


Angie's Low-Carb Oatmeal Alternative


  • 2 Tablespoons Flaxseed

  • 2 Tablespoons Shredded Coconut, unsweetened

  • 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds

  • Sweetener of choice - maple syrup, sugar, coconut sugar, or sugar replacement


Mix all of these ingredients, and add 1/2 cup - 1 cup of water and heat on the stove
