Oats Recipe For One

If you add banana into the oats while it cooks, add an additional 1/4 cup of water to the recipe. The banana will make the oatmeal creamy and thick, so the extra liquid helps achieve the perfect texture.
1/4 cup rolled oats, (you can increase to 1/2 cup if you want more oats), 1/2 cup water, (or a mix of water and milk for a creamier texture), 1/8th salt to taste, (for flavor), 1/2 ripe banana (sliced or mashed, depending on your preference)
In a small saucepan, combine the oats, water (or milk), salt, and banana.
Stir everything together and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
1 sprinkle of cinnamon, cinnamon sugar, milk for serving, any, fresh blackberries, honey or maple syrup
When the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and the banana has melted into the mixture, remove it from the heat.
Serve your warm oats with your choice of toppings, such as a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of nut butter. Enjoy!
