In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, milk, water, and a pinch of salt.
Mash the ripe banana in a small bowl until smooth, then stir it into the saucepan mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
