Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups milk (or any dairy-free alternative)

2 ripe bananas, sliced

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), a dollop of yogurt, or additional banana slices

Instructions
 

Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency.

    Caramelize the Bananas: While the oats are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter (or coconut oil) and let it melt. Once melted, add the sliced bananas and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are golden brown and caramelized, stirring gently to coat them in the sugar.

      Add Flavor: Once the bananas are caramelized, stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon to infuse more flavor. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

        Combine: Once your oatmeal is cooked, portion it into bowls and top with the warm caramelized bananas.

          Add Toppings: Add any optional toppings like chopped nuts, a dollop of yogurt, or more banana slices to make it even more delicious!

            Serve Warm: Enjoy your cozy caramelized banana oatmeal warm on a chilly morning!
