Make It Monday: Banana Walnut Oatmeal




Making Old Fashioned oatmeal on the stove top is relatively quick and very easy, plus it is very healthy for you. You don't need all the sugar that comes in instant packets, plus you are missing out on some more fiber that comes with old fashioned rolled oats than is in instant oats. Old Fashioned oats can also be cooked in the microwave, but you can just as easily make a whole pot of oatmeal for your family of four in the same time it takes to microwave 4 bowls.

 Banana Walnut Oatmeal serves 2
1 C old fashioned oatmeal
2 C water
1 banana, sliced
1 T chopped walnuts
sea salt, to taste (optional)
cinnamon

Directions:

  • Put water, banana and walnuts in a pot and bring to a boil
  • Add oats and salt and simmer for 5 minutes
  • Remove from heat and allow to set for 1-2 minutes
  • Sprinkle top with cinnamon
  • Enjoy!

    Mm, this sounds good. I've been making a lot of overnight oats. I bet I could adapt this recipe for that!

    I myself can't eat walnuts, but my wife loves them. Will have to show her this post!

    I never thought about using sea salt in a banana walnut oatmeal recipe. I am curious about this.

    Looks delicious and similar to how I make my oatmeal. I love Meegs comment to turn it into overnight oats, I will have to try that.

    Okay...this seriously looks and sounds delicious! I can't wait to try it. What's the difference between old fashioned oats and quick oats?

    This looks delicious!
    I have been getting into eating oatmeal more. I love anything with banana but I wonder if this would taste good with almonds instead.

    Thanks for sharing!
