Notes
- Don’t skip the stirring: Stirring every minute or so while the oatmeal simmers is key to preventing it from sticking or scorching. A little patience goes a long way!
- Consistency is key: If you like your oatmeal on the thicker side, let it cook a little longer. For a creamier texture, add more milk and cook it a bit less.
- Sweeten to taste: Depending on the ripeness of your banana, you might find that you don’t need the full tablespoon of honey. Taste as you go!
