Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, water or milk, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. While the oatmeal cooks, lightly toast the chopped pecans in a dry small skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
  5. Remove the oatmeal from the heat.
  6. Stir in half of the sliced banana.
  7. Pour the oatmeal into a bowl.
  8. Top with the remaining banana slices, toasted pecans, and drizzle with pure maple syrup.

Notes

  • You can toast the pecans ahead of time to save a step in the morning.
  • Use your favorite type of milk for creamier oatmeal.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup based on how sweet you like your breakfast.
