Directions

1. In a small pot, use a fork, a wooden spoon, or an immersion blender to mash the banana until pureed.
2. Add the water to the pot and whisk until the banana is well incorporated.
3. Stir in the oats, salt, and cinnamon. Put the pot over medium high.
4. As soon as the liquid comes to a boil or starts bubbling, turn the heat down to low, stirring occasionally. Keep the oats at a slight simmer with bubbles coming to the surface every few seconds.
5. Cook for around 10 minutes or until desired consistency. Cooking longer will make thicker oatmeal. (Keep in mind, oatmeal continues to thicken up once it is removed from heat.)
6. To finish, spoon oatmeal into bowls. Top with or stir in additional toppings from the toppings bar.
