Creamy Banana Oatmeal Delight

1In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats (1 cup) and milk (2 cups). Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

2Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the mashed bananas, honey (1 tablespoon), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), and cinnamon (½ teaspoon). Stir well to combine.

3Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are soft and the mixture is creamy.

4If desired, stir in the chopped nuts (¼ cup) for added texture and flavor.

5Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

6Serve the oatmeal in bowls, garnished with fresh banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon (½ teaspoon) if desired.
