Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, pour in your choice of milk or water and place it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from boiling over for about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in mashed banana, rolled oats, chia seeds if using, and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  3. If using an egg, whisk it in now and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until integrated and mixture is thicker.
  4. Transfer oatmeal to a warming bowl. Drizzle with cream or half and half and top with fresh banana slices.
  5. Enjoy your warm Banana Cream Oatmeal immediately for a comforting breakfast.
