• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 medium banana, sliced
• 0.5 cup mixed berries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk (or water), and salt. Stir to mix.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir frequently to ensure the oats cook evenly and the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom.

Step 4

After about 5-7 minutes, when the oats are soft and the cereal has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the pan from heat.

Step 5

Stir in ground cinnamon and sweeten the cereal with honey or maple syrup, adjusting the sweetness to your preference.

Step 6

Divide the hot cereal into serving bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with sliced banana, mixed berries, chopped nuts, and chia seeds or flaxseeds, as desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your comforting and nutritious hot cereal breakfast!
