- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 small banana
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until the oats are tender and the mixture becomes creamy.
