Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 medium Banana, sliced

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and milk over medium heat.
Add a pinch of salt to the mixture and give it a gentle stir.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Allow the oatmeal to cook for 5–7 minutes, or until it has reached your desired consistency.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the peanut butter until it is fully incorporated and the oatmeal is creamy.
Mix in the honey or maple syrup and cinnamon, adjusting sweetness to your preference.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving with slices of banana.
For added texture and flavor, sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, delicious breakfast!
