- 0.5 medium Apple, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds

Instructions
In a medium-size saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk or almond milk, water, and salt.

Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often until the oats are creamy and absorbed much of the liquid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sliced banana and chopped apple, allowing them to warm through the oatmeal.
Mix in chia seeds and honey or maple syrup to give a slight sweet flavor and added health benefits.
Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top each serving with fresh blueberries, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder.
