Method

1. Prepare: wash the banana³, peel and slice into rounds 0.5–1 cm in diameter; heat the milk² to boiling (about 100°C).

2. Pour the milk² into a saucepan and stir in the rolled¹ oats; add a pinch of salt. Heat — high, 1–2 minutes, until it comes back to a boil.

3. Reduce heat to medium, simmer the oats for 4–5 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is soft and slightly thickened; aim for a thick and creamy state.

4. Remove from heat, add the butter⁴ and stir for 1–2 minutes until fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Cover the pot and let it stand for 2 minutes on low heat; the mixture will reach the desired consistency and become velvety.

6. Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl, top with banana³ slices, and serve.
