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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Taste the oatmeal and, if needed, stir in honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and divide the oatmeal into two bowls.
Step 7
Top with optional chopped nuts for added crunch and serve warm.
