This Easy Stovetop Banana Oatmeal is ready in 10 minutes, making it perfect for weekday mornings when you need a delicious breakfast is a flash. It's naturally sweetened with banana and is Vegan friendly.

I think I might have a banana addiction. I just can't quit it. I'm not entirely sure that there is a more perfect fruit out there. Not only does it taste great on it's own, but it lends itself so well to recipes as a natural sweetener. And once I added it to oatmeal I could never go back to my old tasteless porridge that needed six tablespoons of sugar to remove the cardboard taste. NEVER!
My appreciation for banana oats is nothing new. I shared my banana maple steel cut oats recipe a year ago now and whilst they still hold a special place in my heart, they have one major problem - they take FOREVER to prepare. Dedicating 50 minutes to breakfast on a slow Sunday is easy. And you really should because they are delicious. But on a weekday, we need FAST - am I right? And that's where this Easy Stovetop Banana Oatmeal comes in.
In just ten minutes you'll have a delicious breakfast on the table that will be the envy of anyone sitting at a cafe eating their sad expensive avocado toast (sorry not sorry).
Now before we get to the recipe let's talk caramelised bananas - I say they are "optional" but they really aren't. Make the extra effort to slice up some damn bananas and caramelise them. You won't be sorry.
