This Raw Oat Blueberry Banana Nut Power Bowl is a delicious and amazingly healthy breakfast dish made with raw oats, blueberries, banana, and walnuts.
You’ve probably eaten oatmeal hundreds of times. But, have you ever tried eating it raw? It’s a funky adventure.
I started eating oatmeal raw one morning last summer. It was hot and I didn’t feel like cooking. So, I poured some into a bowl, threw a banana on top, added a little vanilla almond milk, and PRESTO – a masterpiece was born!
I’ve tinkered with the recipe just a bit since then. And, I’ve finally settled on what I think is a brilliant combination. But, that’s just me.
Raw Oat Blueberry Banana Nut Power Bowl
Oats are one of the most nutrient dense foods. Just half a cup contains 13 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber. But, that’s just barely scratching the surface. There’s also an abundance of Manganese, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Copper, and Iron in oats.
Studies have repeatedly confirmed that oats help to lower cholesterol, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Oats also help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. If you’re not eating oats, it’s time to start.
And, what about the benefits of the toppings? Wow!
Blueberries are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, copper, and manganese. Blueberries have the highest amount of antioxidants in them compared to all the foods! And, they are a powerhouse when it comes to helping prevent cancer.
Bananas help lower blood pressure, help to prevent colo-rectal cancer, aid in weight-loss, and cure diabetes.
Walnuts can help prevent cancer, aid in weight management, improve heart function, and are great for brain health. Walnuts also have a positive impact on male fertility by improving sperm quality, quantity, & vitality. Plant food is MAN FOOD!
So, as you can see, this little bowl is powerful! It may be simple and quick, but it is a freaking atomic bomb in fighting disease.

This combination of super foods is in our regular breakfast rotation. It is delicious, satisfying, nutritious. And so easy! We love it. Thanks, Shane, for making plant based eating so accessible.
Really didn’t think I’d like this, buuuuut… it’s my new favorite breakfast!
Awesome!
I use also do half a cup oats and add 1/2 tsp of Amla in my overnight oats. Can’t taste the Amla! And I make a few more bowls while I’m at it. Put them in covered containers and I’m ready for a few mornings. Just add the banana when I’m ready to eat! Thanks for all you do Shane!
I love this and have it a few times a week. I usually throw in frozen blueberries and raspberries. Keeps the milk very cold! Thanks, Shane, keep those easy and delicious recipes coming!
I just had this for breakfast, it was so delicious! I’ll never cook oats again 🙂
Thank you!
Thanks, Tracey! I totally get it…I haven’t cooked oats in 3 years:)
My first time trying this. Delicious! I added cinnamon, chia seeds, flax seeds and a finch of vanilla.
That sounds great, Michelle!
Unbeknownst to me, I’ve been making an almost identical breakfast for over a year. I use sprouted oats that we get from Costco, add a slightly overripe banana (adds the perfect amount of sweetness), freeze-dried strawberries, ground flaxseed, & unsweetened plant based milk. I let it hang out for a few minutes, then enjoy! Yum. And keeps me full til lunch.
I was so surprised at how good raw oats are! And of course, so super simple! I added some cinnamon, ground flaxmeal and hemp seeds. I’m going to do some pre-made packs to take on our road trip next month. Thanks for sharing this!
I know, right? Raw oats rock!
Yum! We prefer raw oats, too, and make them almost identically to this! I like to add a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg, raw pecans, and a sprinkling of dark chocolate mini-chips (the Enjoy Life brand is vegan). It’s like eating a big healthy cookie for breakfast. 🙂 Keep the simple recipes coming!
Don’t you have to cook oatmeal?? !
No, it’s perfectly edible raw. And, my favorite way to eat it:)
This is definitely a man-sized breakfast. There is no way I could eat 1 cup of oats and a whole banana and all the other additions. WOW
When I make overnight oats I use 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup blueberries, chia seeds, and the unsweetened vanilla almond milk. And that is almost more than I can eat.
I love oats raw! Only way I like them now!
I use Steel cut oats :), blueberries, ground flax and plant milk.
Agreed. I don’t think I could ever go back to cooked oats.
Thank you for such a lip licking oat bowl recipe.
That sounds delicious. I’m gonna give it a try tomorrow.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it. It’s super easy, filling and delicious. One of my favorites!
Best ever! Quick and delicious; better even than overnight oats! The only change I made, was I added 1/2 t. of pure vanilla extract to my almond milk before mixing it in.
So glad you enjoyed it, Lisa! And, love the idea of the vanilla. Thanks for sharing! Peace.
really surprised how yummy this turned out! it seemed too simple! I had to switch it up as i didn’t have walnuts and crushed up some cashew. (and i also added a touch of honey!) Yum! Thank you!
Lisa, that’s awesome! So glad you enjoyed it. I’m constantly amazed how delicious the simplest things are. Peace.
Thank you Shane! Super yummy, and helpful for mixing up my options to aid in milk supply for nursing.
Thank you, Nicole! So glad you enjoyed it. And, happy I can assist in helping grow a “plant-strong” child:) Blessings!
Simple and delicious.
