  • reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20-30 more until desired texture.
  • they should be thick and soft but not mush.

  • when you add the oats add salt and vanilla.
  • after simmering 15 minutes add the banana to the pot, i dice it pretty small (quarter it lengthwise and chop into little pieces).
