Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 medium banana
- 0.5 cup berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the honey or maple syrup to sweeten the oatmeal.
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl.
Slice the banana and layer it on top of the oatmeal along with the berries.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts or seeds on top for added crunch and nutrition.
Drizzle the peanut butter or almond butter over the toppings for a rich, nutty flavor.
