Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.

While the porridge is cooking, slice the banana and prepare any additional toppings, such as fresh berries or chopped nuts.
Step 5
When the porridge is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the ground cinnamon for added warmth and flavor.
Step 6
Divide the porridge evenly between two bowls.
Step 7
Top each bowl with the sliced banana, fresh berries, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a dash of chia seeds.
