Banana Nut Oatmeal
I love breakfast on the weekends, but during the week? Not so much. As a notorious weekday breakfast-skipper I have tried in vain for years to establish a morning routine that includes a balanced breakfast, but always fail miserably. It’s not that I don’t have enough time or access to appropriate breakfast ingredients. It’s certainly not due to a lack of creativeness in the breakfast recipe department – a quick look through the archives on this site is evidence of that. No, I’ve decided it’s one of two things: laziness or some kind of breakfast aversion disorder. I don’t like to think of myself as lazy so I’m going with the aversion one – this whole breakfast avoidance issue is definitely a clinical problem.
This banana nut oatmeal I’m sharing with you today is something I enjoyed on a recent quiet Saturday, but maybe you’re a dedicated breakfast eater during the week? If so, then you’ll love this! It may look fancy and high-maintenance, but it takes very little time to toss together. Also, it’s very filling – oatmeal, walnuts, and bananas will get you to lunchtime feeling pretty good about life. No need to worry about that hangry I need to eat something NOW before I diiiieeeee craziness that tends to hit mid morning on those days we skip breakfast. Which, for me, happens five days a week (I’m sorry co-workers).
So, I’m going to research options for weekday breakfast therapy and in the meantime I hope you give this a try. Whether you make it during the week or on the weekend it’s a happy way to start the day!
- 1 cup milk
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup whole grain oats
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 medium banana, sliced
- ½ tablespoon real maple syrup, plus a little extra to drizzle
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
- In a medium sauce pan bring the milk to a boil. Add the oats and salt and lower the heat to medium. Add the nutmeg and let the oats cook for about 5 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Then cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let it rest for a couple of more minutes.
- While the oats are cooking, take half of the banana slices and mash them with a fork. I did this right on my cutting board. Set the rest of the banana slices aside.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the mashed bananas and the ½ tablespoon of maple syrup. Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top it with the rest of the banana slices, the walnuts, and another drizzle (about a teaspoon) of maple syrup.
