π©βπ³ Cooking Instructions
1Combine 1 cup rolled oats and 3 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat immediately and simmer for exactly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid is absorbed.
2Stir in 2 cups low-fat milk and half of one banana (mashed). Continue cooking on medium heat for an additional 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
3Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon and allow the mixture to rest for 1 minute to fully incorporate the flavor.
4In a separate small bowl, gently stir the ground walnuts into 1 cup Greek yogurt. Refrigerate until serving, then set out just before plating.
5To serve, pour the warm porridge mixture into individual bowls. Top each portion with remaining banana slices and drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over both the porridge and the prepared Greek yogurt mix.
