Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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).
