Step 1
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and add the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Warm everything over medium heat until it just starts to boil—keep an eye on it so it doesn’t bubble over. Once it’s gently boiling, stir in the oats. Let it come back to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium and cook, stirring now and then, until most of the liquid has been absorbed. This should take about a minute if you’re using quick oats, or around five minutes for old-fashioned oats.

Step 2
Take the pot off the heat and mix in the mashed bananas and pecans. Divide the oatmeal evenly into bowls, then top with a dollop of yogurt, a few banana slices, and some pecan halves if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to serve
Top with chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey, or fresh berries for added flavor and texture. A sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of yogurt also pairs nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess before serving.
