Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (unsweetened, smooth)
• 1 medium banana (ripe, mashed)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional for sweetness)
• 0 as desired fresh fruit (such as berries, diced apple, or extra banana slices) for topping

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir to prevent clumping.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Once the oats have softened and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes, reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

Stir in the peanut butter, mashed banana, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy.

Step 5

Taste the oatmeal and, if desired, add a touch of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness.

Step 6

Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to fully incorporate the flavors.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal cool slightly before serving, especially if serving toddlers to avoid burns.

Step 8

Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top with fresh fruit as desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy!
