Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked oatmeal (quick cooking or steel cut oats)
  • 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Cinnamon, optional
  • Warm milk to serve with oatmeal
Instructions
  1. Cook oatmeal according to instructions. For quick oats the ratio is typically 1:2 (oats to milk) For quick-cooking or traditional steel cut oats, expect to cook oats for 10 to 20 minutes.
  2. In a saute pan, melt butter, add banana slices and brown sugar. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes until bananas are warm and brown sugar has melted. Cook longer if you prefer a mashed-banana texture.
  3. Serve cooked oatmeal in a bowl, garnish generously with caramelized bananas, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon. Serve with warm milk to drizzle all over the oatmeal.
