Question 1

Can I use walnuts instead of pecans?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can use any kind of nuts. In fact, this could be called banana nut oatmeal instead of banana pecan oatmeal. Use the same amount of any variety of nut you like.

Question 2

Do I have to toast the pecans, that seems extra?

Accepted Answer

No, you can skip that step if you're short on time. While it does enhance the nutty flavor of the oatmeal and add some crunch, you can just toss in some chopped pecans right from the bag instead. It'll still be delicious!

Question 3

Can I use all milk instead of milk and water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Using only milk (versus a combination of milk and water) to make oatmeal on the stove makes it much thicker and stickier though, so keep that in mind.
