Tips:

Use overripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which makes them perfect for baking. They also add moisture and texture to the oatmeal.

Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

Use a combination of oats: Using a combination of rolled oats and quick-cooking oats gives the oatmeal a chewy and creamy texture. You can also use steel-cut oats, but they will take longer to cook.

Add spices: Adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the oatmeal enhances the flavor and makes it more aromatic. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the bananas.

Serve with your favorite toppings: Oatmeal is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include milk, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, yogurt, and fresh fruit.
