Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 banana
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. Add the banana slices and raisins to the saucepan once the oatmeal starts to thicken, approximately 5 minutes into cooking.
Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal reaches your desired texture and the bananas are soft and partially broken down.
Taste the oatmeal and, if needed, stir in honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and divide the oatmeal into two bowls.
Top with optional chopped nuts for added crunch and serve warm.
