Notes

You don't want to use instant oats for this oatmeal - you should use old fashioned oats. Instant or quick oats will provide a different texture.

Don't have old fashioned oats? You can also use granola in this recipe! It changes the nutritional information of course, but it's pretty delicious.

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If you use frozen, let them thaw first. You will likely need to cook the oatmeal a little longer (30 minutes plus). You're looking for the middle to be set and the top to be golden.

To mash a banana, first cut into large chunks and place into a bowl. Mash the banana by using the fork to press the banana against the bowl walls. Continue until the entire banana is mushed to the desired consistency.

If you'd like this to be a bit more sweet, you can add 1/4 cup maple syrup to the recipe. Grade A or B is your choice (Grade A is more sweet than B).
