Method

1. 01

   Simmer the oats

   Put oats, milk or oat drink, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring often.

   The oats should soften and thicken while staying spoonable; lower the heat if the bottom catches.

2. 02

   Finish breakfast

   Rest off the heat for 1 minute. Divide into two bowls, top with banana and add the optional maple syrup.

   If too thick after resting, stir in a small splash of water before serving.
