Extra virgin olive oil complements the sweeter flavors of the bananas and blueberries nicely, creating a savory, almost umami taste in this oatmeal bowl.
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup water
1 tablespoon EVOO
2-3 dashes of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
2-3 dashes of pepper (about 1/8 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 banana, sliced
1/4 cup shelled walnuts
