Make the oats
Combine 2 cups milk with a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil. Stir in the 1.5 cup quick cook oats and reduce to medium heat; cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the 1/4 c egg whites, and 6 tbsp hemp seeds, cover, and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
If using rolled oats or other kind, follow the package instructions for making the oats.

Make the caramelized bananas (can use any topping you like)
Add 1/2 tbsp coconut oil to a sauce pan or skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add in the 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt. Give this a stir and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add in the sliced 1/2 banana, ensuring that they are all in one layer and laying on the flat side. Let this cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is sticky and bubbling and the bananas have softened. Do not try to move the bananas yet!
Gently flip the bananas, making sure they are mostly golden brown. Let them cook another 1-2 minutes.
Plate up the oatmeal in bowls and top with caramelized bananas. Top with optional Cashew butter and Yogurt or coconut whip.
