Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup water
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon salt

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir to combine.
Peel and mash one of the bananas using a fork until smooth. Add the mashed banana to the saucepan with the oats.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Peel and slice the remaining banana. Top each bowl of oatmeal with banana slices, a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired, and a dash of cinnamon for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your wholesome Banana Cream Oatmeal!
