Directions

• Start by combining the oats, milk, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Slice a banana into very thin pieces, leaving just a few bigger chunks. Walk away for a few minutes while the oatmeal heats.
• Once the oatmeal begins to steam or bubble, add the banana and stir vigorously to whip the banana into the oats.
• Add the chia seeds and salt.
• The oats will take about 5 minutes on medium heat from start to finish to fully absorb the liquid.
• Near the end of cooking, add cubes of whole wheat bread and a splash more of milk and vanilla.
• Stir until liquid is absorbed.
