Greek Yogurt Oatmeal

Start your morning with a bowl of Greek yogurt oatmeal! The yogurt not only adds protein but makes the oatmeal extra creamy too!
Last week I shared my cottage cheese oatmeal and today I have the Greek yogurt oatmeal recipe to share.
How to Add Greek Yogurt to Oatmeal
It’s super simple to add Greek yogurt to oatmeal. The key is waiting until the oats are cooked to mix in the yogurt.
Greek yogurt does change the flavor of the oats slightly and adds quite a bit of creaminess. You can also play with the final flavor combination by adding in different flavors of yogurt. I typically stick to plain or vanilla but feel free to switch it up!

Greek Yogurt Oatmeal
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ banana, sliced (optional)*
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 ¼ cup water, milk or a blend of both
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon + 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, optional
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt + more if you’d like
Instructions
- Add oats, banana slices and sea salt to a pot. Add water/milk and stir to combine. Add cinnamon and vanilla, if using. Heat over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Be sure to stir the oats several times while cooking to make sure the banana slices melt into the oats. You’ll know the oatmeal is done when all the liquid is absorbed and the oats are thick and fluffy.
- Remove oats from the heat and stir in Greek yogurt. Start with 1/4 cup and add more if you’d like. Transfer oats to a bowl and top with your favorite oatmeal toppings. I used banana slices, blueberries, granola and peanut butter.
Notes
- You don’t have to cook the oats with a banana, but I like the sweetness it adds. Instead of the banana, you could use maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar or even stevia.

This was super good! I had some chocolate protein shake in my fridge to I turned this into chocolate banana peanut butter oatmeal. Super satiating – I doubled the recipe and I’ll have enough to last me at least 3/4 days
Woo!! Chocolate, banana and peanut butter sounds SO good, Julia! Love that you doubled it for meal prep too. Thanks so much for making the recipe!
