Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work best)

Optional: whipped cream or yogurt for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Add the Sweetness: Once the milk is bubbling, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the mashed bananas, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.

      Make the Caramel Sauce: In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the remaining banana (sliced) and the brown sugar to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens and turns into a velvety caramel-like consistency. Remove from heat.

        Combine and Serve: Once the oats have reached your desired creaminess, remove them from the heat. Serve the oatmeal into bowls, generously drizzling the caramel banana mixture on top. Sprinkle with chopped nuts for an added crunch.

          Optional Topping: If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of yogurt on top for extra creaminess and flavor.
