Bananas Foster Oatmeal
My favorite oatmeal on a cold winter morning. Topped with caramelized bananas, nuts, and cinnamon.
- Yield: 2 1x
- Category: Breakfast
Ingredients
- 1 TBS butter
- 2 TBS brown sugar
- 1/3 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 2/3 c. old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 c. whole milk
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until melted, about 1 minute. Add the pecans and sliced banana and stir to coat in the brown sugar mixture. Cook until bananas are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Spoon half of the banana mixture into a bowl for topping your oatmeal.
- Add the oats and cinnamon to the remaining half of the banana mixture still in the pan. Stir to coat the oats in the sauce. Toast the oats for 1 minute, then add the milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until oatmeal is thick and oats are soft, about 5-8 minutes, then remove from the heat. Divide oatmeal between two bowls and top with the reserved banana mixture. Serve immediately.
