Step 1

Cook the oatmeal according to package directions. For extra awesome creamy oatmeal, cook it in milk!

Step 2

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla, and let it bubble around for a little bit to get incorporated. It should be lightly foamy and bubbly.

Step 3

Add bananas and simmer for a few minutes on each side until soft and plump.

Step 4

Remove from heat. Stir half of bananas into oatmeal, and reserve the other half for topping. Add other desired toppings, and mwah! Delicious.
