Banana Bread Oatmeal - ★Cooking Recipes★

Directions for: Banana Bread Oatmeal

Ingredients

3 cup fat-free milk

3 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar

tsp ground cinnamon

tsp ground nutmeg

2 cup Large Flake Quaker Oats or Quick Quaker Oats (uncooked)

2 medium-size ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

2 Tbsp coarsely chopped toasted pecans

Vanilla non-fat yogurt (optional)

Banana slices (optional)

Pecan halves (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring milk, brown sugar and spices to a gentle boil (watch carefully); stir in oats. Return to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook 1 minute for quick oats, 5 minutes for old fashioned oats, or until most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

2. Remove oatmeal from heat. Stir in mashed bananas and pecans. Spoon oatmeal into six cereal bowls. Top with yogurt, sliced bananas and pecan halves, if desired.

3. Cooks Notes: To toast pecans, spread evenly in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350F 5 to 7 minutes or until light golden brown. Or spread nuts evenly on microwave-safe plate. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Continue to microwave on HIGH, checking every 30 seconds until nuts are fragrant and brown.
