Creamy stovetop oatmeal with caramelized banana and crunchy walnuts — warm, filling and ready in 15 minutes.

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
2 cup milk or water
1 ripe banana, sliced
¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp butter

Steps

Bring the milk or water to a boil with the salt. Stir in the oats, reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes, stirring often.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet and cook the banana slices with brown sugar and cinnamon 2 minutes per side until caramelized.
Stir the cinnamon into the oatmeal and divide among bowls.
Top with caramelized banana and toasted walnuts.

Serve with: a drizzle of honey and a splash of cold milk.

Stir the oats often and do not walk away: oatmeal thickens fast and catches on the bottom of the pot.
