Benefits

• A warm bowl that holds you until lunch.
• Milk makes the oats softer than water alone.
• Banana and honey are the sweet. The pot itself is not sugared.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

1. Put the oats, milk, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan.
2. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, then stir for 5 minutes until the oats are soft and the liquid is mostly gone.
3. Divide it between two bowls. Lay the banana on top and drizzle the honey.

Tips

• Keep the simmer low once it starts, or the milk forms a skin.
• Stir near the end so the bottom does not catch.

  ★★★★★★★★★★

  I kept the heat low after it started bubbling. High heat made a skin on the milk.
