Plain oats and plain banana for a plain breakfast? No need for that anymore. Try these Creamy Vanilla Oatmeal with perfectly Caramelized Bananas instead.
Cook oats:
Whisk together oats, water, milk and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook, uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Caramelize banana:
While the oats cook, heat a skillet on medium and lightly spray it (1-2 sprays should be sufficient).
Slice the banana into strips lengthwise or coins according to preference.
Place bananas on pan and cook about 3 minutes until golden brown, sooner if you see browning on the pan or smell burning.
Gently flip to other side and cook for another minute.
Assemble:
Transfer oats to a bowl when cooked, and stir in vanilla, cinnamon and sweetener if using.
Top with caramelized bananas.
Serve hot with some peanut butter and dark chocolate if you like!
