How to Make Banana Bread Oatmeal

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup milk (dairy or soy), 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Stir in 1 cup quick-cooking oats (or 1 cup old-fashioned oats for a chewier texture).
  3. Return to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 1 minute for quick oats, 5 minutes for old-fashioned oats, or until most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove oatmeal from heat.
  6. Gently stir in 1 mashed ripe banana and 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
  7. Divide the oatmeal evenly among six cereal bowls.
  8. **Optional:** Top with 1 tablespoon soy yogurt (or dairy yogurt), sliced bananas, and pecan halves.
  9. **Baking Option:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  10. **Microwave Option:** Spread the oatmeal evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until heated through and nuts are fragrant and lightly browned.
