Peel and slice the bananas into small rounds.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or coconut oil.
Add the sliced bananas to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly and start to caramelize.
Stir in the rolled oats and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing them to toast lightly.
Pour in the milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb some milk and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Adjust sweetness to taste.
For a smooth fondue, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until creamy. (This step is optional if you prefer a chunkier texture.)
Transfer the fondue to a serving bowl and sprinkle with optional toppings like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips if desired.
Serve immediately with fruit, cookies, or bread for dipping.
