Directions

  1. Smash the banana in the bottom of a medium bowl using the back of a fork. Add the egg and stir to combine. Stir in the oats, salt, cinnamon, maple syrup and walnuts.

  2. Add the oil to a 10-inch or 12-inch non-stick skillet and set over medium heat. Add the oat mixture, spreading into an even layer and let cook, undisturbed, until the underside is golden and crispy,  about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute, then break apart with a silicone spatula and add to a bowl.

  3. Garnish with yogurt and fresh fruit.

     

    Note: The USDA recommends cooking eggs dishes to 160°F.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
