Serves two.
1 and 1/2 cup milk
2 ripe (or overripe) bananas
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
Approximately 1/2 a cup of water
Sweetner: Sugar, raw sugar, agave
Sliced bananas as garnish... if you so desire.
Pour the milk into a saucepan and start it out on low heat. Mash the bananas (I usually do this in a cereal bowl with a fork) and add to the saucepan along with the vanilla and cinnamon. Let this come to a slow simmer.
Once the smell of cinnamon subsides a little (takes about a minute from when it starts to simmer) add the oatmeal and about half a cup of water and cook till ready.
Dish the oatmeal out into two bowls, sprinkle 1/4 cup of nuts in each and a drizzle of honey, not too much because overripe bananas are sweet to begin with.
You can even add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon and some sliced bananas on top.
