This recipe elevates the classic packet oatmeal breakfast to the next level. Adding a few simple ingredients can take an ordinary oatmeal from “just okay” to “outstanding,” creating a delicious and filling meal with minimal extra effort. Fresh banana is mixed into this comforting dish for flavor, and chopped nuts add a satisfying crunch to every bite. This recipe uses only half of a banana, but don’t let the rest go to waste. Completely peel it, then slice it and place into a small freezer-safe zip-top bag and freeze it, so you can easily add it to your next smoothie. Or, use the leftover fresh banana slices to decorate the top of your oatmeal. — Robin Fields, The Easy Three-Ingredient College Cookbook
