Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 2 cups milk (or water for a dairy-free version)

  • 1 ripe banana, sliced

  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring milk (or water) to a boil over medium heat.

  • Stir in oats and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • While oats cook, slice banana and chop walnuts.

  • Once oats are cooked to your desired consistency, stir in cinnamon and honey (if using).

  • Remove from heat and fold in banana slices and walnuts.

  • Serve immediately with extra banana slices or nuts on top, if desired.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup and use plant-based milk.

  • Make it nut-free by replacing walnuts with chia or pumpkin seeds.

  • Add-ins like dried cranberries, raisins, or a dash of nutmeg can enhance flavor.

  • For extra protein, stir in your favorite protein powder after cooking.

  • To make ahead, refrigerate and reheat with a splash of milk or water.
