Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine rolled oats, water or milk, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    While the oatmeal is simmering, mash the ripe banana in a small bowl.

  4. 4

    Stir the mashed banana, chopped walnuts, and ground cinnamon into the cooked oatmeal. If desired, add maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness.

  5. 5

    Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, to allow the flavors to meld and the banana to warm through. Serve immediately in bowls.
