Start by preparing the crunchy element. In a small, dry skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter (15g) over medium heat. When the butter melts and starts to sizzle slightly, add 80g of rolled oats. Spread them evenly across the entire surface of the skillet.

Preparation steps
Toasted oats
Toast the flakes for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. You need to be vigilant, as the flakes can easily burn. They will be ready when they take on a beautiful golden-brown color and start to smell intensely nutty. Once ready, immediately remove the flakes from the pan and transfer them to a bowl to stop the toasting process. Set aside.
Caramelized banana
Now it's time for the star of the show. Peel a ripe banana and slice it into pieces about 1 cm thick. Slices that are too thin may fall apart while frying.
In the same pan (you don't need to wash it), melt the remaining tablespoon of butter (15g) over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, evenly sprinkle the surface of the pan with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Heat for about a minute until the sugar starts to dissolve and bubble. Gently place the banana slices in the pan, side by side. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until the bananas are coated in a golden, shiny caramel. Remove the pan from the heat.
Milk soup and serving
In a small saucepan with a capacity of about 1.5 liters, place 500 ml of milk. Add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. If you are using a vanilla pod, split it lengthwise in half with the tip of a knife, then scrape the black seeds from both halves directly into the milk using the blunt side of the knife. Also, add the empty pod to the saucepan for extra flavor.
Heat the milk over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but do not bring it to a boil. Small bubbles will start to appear around the edges of the saucepan. This will take about 5-7 minutes. This process will allow the flavors of vanilla and cinnamon to infuse into the milk.
Into the hot, aromatic milk, add the previously toasted oats. Slightly increase the heat and cook everything for about 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the oats are slightly softened but still have a noticeable texture. The soup should thicken slightly. Remove the empty vanilla pod from the soup.
Immediately pour the hot soup into two deep bowls. Artfully arrange half of the caramelized banana slices on top of each serving. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if using. Serve right away while it is hot and crunchy.
Fun Fact
Milk soup, in Poland mainly associated with the PRL era and canteens, has its counterparts in many cultures. In Scandinavian countries, 'øllebrød' (a soup made from stale bread and beer, often served with milk) is popular, while in England, 'porridge' has been a breakfast classic for centuries. This is proof that dishes based on milk and grains are a universal comfort food around the world.

Tips
Serve the soup in deep ceramic bowls that retain heat for a long time. Before serving, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top. Fresh fruits, such as raspberries or blueberries, also pair wonderfully, adding a slightly tart contrast. For a vegan version, use oat or almond milk and coconut oil instead of butter.
Milk soup tastes best right after preparation. If you have leftovers, store the soup and toppings (bananas, nuts) in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat the soup over low heat, possibly adding a little milk if it has thickened too much. Remember that the flakes will be softer after reheating.
