Ingredients
-
4 large ripe bananas, divided
-
3 cups low-fat milk
-
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (see Tip)
-
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
-
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Peel and slice 1 banana; reserve for serving. Using a fork, mash the remaining 3 bananas in a large saucepan. Add milk and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, scraping the bottom of the pan often with a wooden spoon. Stir in oats, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan often with the spoon, until the mixture is thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Divide the oatmeal evenly among 4 bowls; top evenly with the reserved banana slices. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips
Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use oats that are labeled "gluten-free," as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
