Blend the banana, oatmeal, milk, and vanilla for at least 2 minutes until no oat flecks or banana fibers remain.
Pass through a fine sieve and discard anything that does not pass through easily.
Adjust the consistency according to the thickener instructions, then allow the full standing time.
Run the 10 mL flow test and fork drip test at serving temperature. Do not add nuts, dry cinnamon, or other toppings.

EquipmentBlender, fine sieve, 10 mL syringe and fork for testing

SLP tipBananas and oatmeal continue to thicken as they stand, so retest after any delay.

Before serving: run the spoon tilt and fork drip tests on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
