Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Oats

Add milk to a medium saucepan and heat over medium flame until warm (do not boil).

Add rolled oats and stir gently.

Reduce heat and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally so the oats do not stick.

The oats will become soft, thick, and creamy.

---

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

While the oats cook, peel the bananas and place them in a bowl.

Mash them using a fork until smooth.

You can leave small chunks if you like extra texture.

Bananas provide natural sweetness and thickness.

Step 3: Add Chia Seeds & Flavor

Once oats are soft, add the mashed banana to the saucepan.

Stir well.

Add:

• Chia seeds
• Cinnamon powder

Cook for another 2 minutes.

Chia seeds will absorb liquid and help thicken the oats.

Step 4: Add Sweetness & Creaminess

Turn off the heat.

Add:

• Honey
• Peanut butter

Mix until fully blended and creamy

Peanut butter adds healthy fats and rich flavor.

Step 5: Serve & Add Toppings
