Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup coconut milk from a can
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe bananas sliced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
  • A pinch of sea salt and extra maple syrup for drizzling *optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your liking. If the oatmeal is too thick, you can add a bit more water or coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • In a separate skillet, heat the coconut oil or butter over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas to the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bananas.
  • Cook the bananas for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and caramelized.
  • Once the oatmeal is ready, remove it from the heat and divide between serving bowls. Top each bowl with the caramelized banana slices and chopped pecans or walnuts. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top and drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
