Instructions

1. Mash Banana

   Time: PT2M

2. Add Dry Ingredients

   Stir in 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt (optional).

   Time: PT1M

3. Add Liquid

   Pour 1 cup of milk (any kind) over the mixture and whisk until everything is evenly combined.

   Time: PT1M

4. Microwave Oatmeal

   Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove, stir, then continue microwaving in 30‑second bursts, stirring each time, until the oatmeal thickens (about 1½ more minutes).

   Time: PT3M30S

5. Finish Oatmeal

   Stir in 1 teaspoon brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

   Time: PT1M

   Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons milk, a pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously until frothy.

   Time: PT2M

7. Heat Pan & Cook Pancetta

   Heat a non‑stick frying pan over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, then add the diced pancetta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp and slightly popped (about 2 minutes).

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat

8. Add Egg Mixture

   Reduce heat to low, pour the whisked eggs over the cooked pancetta, letting the edges set first.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: Low heat

9. Scrape & Fold

   Using a spatula, gently pull the cooked outer edges toward the center, allowing the runny egg to fill the gaps. Continue until the surface is mostly set but still slightly creamy.

   Time: PT2M

10. Add Cheese

    Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese evenly over the omelette, then fold the omelette in half.

    Time: PT30S

    Add a tiny pinch of extra salt if desired, then serve immediately.

    Time: PT20S

    Rinse 1/4 cup each of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Pat dry.
