Add the 1 cup rolled oats1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 Tbsps peanut butter and 1 Tbsp chia seeds into a saucepan or small pot. Add the 2 cups water, stir and combine ingredients and cook over medum-high heat for rough 10 mintues. When the liquid is all absorbed, the creamy oats is ready.
Serve the oats in bowls topped with 1 banana, a sprinkle of cinnamon and chia seeds. Drizzle over with honey or maple syrup and more peanut butter before serving, if preferred.
Notes
Cooking Oats: To ensure a creamy smooth oats, stir to keep the chia seeds from sticking together. You want to make sure that all the ingredients are combined, including the peanut butter. Consistency: If you want it a little thinner, simply add liquid, milk or water. I usually add another 1/4 cup of milk after the oats have cooked if I want a thinner oats. Peanut butter: You can use any peanut butter or nut butter.Spice: Cinnamon and nutmeg are optional spice pinch to add into the oats. Banana: Sliced banana over cooked oats and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup is delicious! Tip: To try something different next time, add 1/2 mashed banana to cook with the oats for a creamier oats.
