- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the oats are thick and creamy, stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Remove the saucepan from heat and divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with banana slices, fresh or frozen berries, chopped nuts, chia seeds, a dollop of peanut or almond butter, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips.
Optionally, add a tablespoon of shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
Serve the oatmeal warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed breakfast!
