In a microwave-safe bowl, add in the mashed banana, apple, water, rolled oats, peanut butter, cinnamon, and salt. Stir ingredients and then microwave in 1 to 2-minute intervals for a total of 5 minutes.
Drizzle with honey (optional) and enjoy!
Notes:
Quick Tip: Top with berries, or your favorite nuts and seeds.
Texture modifications for stroke recovery: If a softer texture is required, replace the apple with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and process all ingredients in a food processor until the desired consistency is reached.
Nutritional Highlights
Oats contain a soluble fiber called beta-glucan that helps to reduce bad LDL cholesterol, balance blood sugar and keep you regular.
Apples contain a type of fiber called pectin that acts as a prebiotic to feed the good bacteria in your gut. The fiber in apples also contributes to their blood sugar-balancing properties.
