Instructions:

1. First, prepare the caramelized bananas. Slice the banana into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
2. Melt the vegan butter or coconut oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the banana slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly softened.

4. In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, plant-based milk, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked through and the mixture has thickened.
5. Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with the caramelized bananas.
6. Add any optional toppings, such as chopped nuts, seeds, or berries.
7. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Vegan Caramelized Banana Oatmeal!

Tips and Variations:

• For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the oatmeal while cooking.
• You can use different types of fruit for the caramelization, such as apples or peaches.
• Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup.
• Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
