- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small ripe banana

While the oats are cooking, peel and mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth.
When the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the mashed banana, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Divide the oats evenly between two bowls.
Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of crushed walnuts, a handful of fresh berries, and a sprinkle of chia seeds.
