Steps
1. In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water or milk, and a pinch of salt.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Once the oats are creamy and cooked through, remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon.
4. Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top with sliced bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.
5. Add any optional toppings like nuts, seeds, or berries for extra flavor and crunch.
6. Enjoy your warm and nourishing breakfast!
