Chef's Note
For extra creaminess, try using half milk and half coconut milk. You can also prepare the base oatmeal the night before and reheat in the morning with a splash of extra milk. The toppings can be customized based on what you have available - try sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, or a dollop of yogurt for variety.

Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
3 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (plus extra slices for topping)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 3 cups of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- 2
Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats have softened and the mixture has thickened.
- 3
While the oats are cooking, mash 2 medium ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- 4
Stir the mashed bananas, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the oatmeal. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the chia seeds to plump up slightly.

Divide the oatmeal among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with sliced banana, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts, and fresh berries if using.
- 7
Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon if desired and serve warm.
