- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk like almond or oat milk)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

In a small saucepan, combine the oats and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens.
While the oats are cooking, stir in cinnamon (if using) and honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
When the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt until the mixture becomes creamy.
Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with the sliced bananas, nuts, and chia seeds or flax seeds.
Serve immediately.

- You can also sweeten it with mashed bananas.
- You can use other fruits instead of bananas, including berries, apples, peaches, or pomegranates.
