- 1 cup old fashioned oats rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 banana
- optional - a few nuts eg candied pecans and/or slices of banana and maple syrup to serve
Place the oats, milk and cinnamon (if using) in a small pan. Press the oats down a little so it they are covered by the milk. Warm over a medium heat, stirring a couple times as it cooks - you want the milk warmed through to a simmer but not a strong boil. The milk should reduce down to look less liquidy.
While it's warming, mash the banana. Once cooked, mix the oatmeal and mashed banana together and serve warm with your choice of toppings.
If I have them, I love using the maple candied pecans from my pear gorgonzola salad in this. They are quick and easy to make and super tasty (plus only use pecans and a little maple syrup, so relatively healthy, too).
