Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk dairy or any non-dairy milk will work - I prefer soy milk
1 banana sliced (reserve 1/4 banana slices for topping)
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of sea salt
2 tablespoons golden raisins optional
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts optional

To serve: sliced banana, brown sugar, almond milk

Instructions

In a small saucepan, add the oats, water, milk, and sliced banana. Bring to a simmer and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed and oats become creamy.
Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and golden raisins. Cook for 1 minute then turn off the heat.
To serve, top with walnuts, sliced banana, brown sugar, milk, etc.

Notes

- If desired, make some caramelized banana slices for the top! To make caramelized banana slices, melt 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet and add the reserved banana slices to a pan. Sprinkle slices with brown sugar. Cook banana slices on each side until lightly browned. Serve on top of cooked oats.
