Oh you really should try it! The bananas get all warm and soft, and basically melt into the oatmeal...adding a wonderful flavor and sweetness. I like it much better than adding the bananas after cooking. I also do the same thing with blueberries, too. Adding them before cooking softens them and brings out the juices and natural sugar, plus it turns the oatmeal a funky "purplish-blue" color.
