Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (my favorite are Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Rolled Oats)
2 cups liquid (I normally use water because I’m a poor college kid, but milk of any kind would be great)
1/2 brown-speckled banana, mashed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings: banana slices, extra milk, nuts, nut butters, spices, blueberries, flax/chia seeds, etc.
Instructions
Place your rolled oats in a medium saucepan, followed by your liquid. Add salt, banana, and spices, and cook over high heat until the liquid starts to boil.
Stir the mixture, and immediately turn the heat down to medium-low. Keep the mixture at a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Once you feel the mixture thickening, slightly increase the temperature to bring your mixture to a boil.
Once you hear the boil sound more dry than wet, or when the mixture is thickened to your liking, remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour into a bowl of your choosing and top with your desired toppings. Recipe makes one serving.
