  4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or a sugar substitute, to taste.
  5. Top the oatmeal with the remaining sliced banana, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
