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
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.
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.
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.
