I used 2 tbsp of coconut oil to caramelize the bananas, but you can probably get away with only using 1, depending on the type of pan you use. If you notice the bananas sticking at all, just add some extra oil.
Refined coconut oil, unlike unrefined coconut oil, won’t have any coconut taste, so I prefer that in this recipe. Any neutral flavored oil should work!
Flavor tips
To make this recipe even more flavorful than it already is, you can mash 1/2 or 1 full banana and cook that into the oats.
It gives it almost a banana bread vibe and really takes this oatmeal to the next level. This is totally optional, the oats will still be delicious without it!
