Scale
  • ½ cup steel-cut oats

♥for the banana-walnut topping:

  • 1/4 cup rough chopped walnuts
  • remaining sliced bananas

Instructions

  1. Combine milk, water, ⅓ of the sliced bananas, salt, cinnamon and oats in a small pot.

  4. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk and turn heat up to med-high until oatmeal is bubbling again.
  5. Turn off heat and set aside.
  6. Combine butter and brown sugar in a small pan over medium heat, stirring until butter and sugar are melted.
  7. Add remaining banana slices to caramelize.
  8. Add walnuts between banana slices.
  9. Once they start to brown and caramelize, flip the bananas over and cook until both sides are caramelized.
  10. Divide oatmeal into two bowls and top with the caramelized bananas.
