Method

  1. 1

    Add the water and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the rolled oats and ground cinnamon, then lower the heat to medium-low.

  3. 3

    Simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.

  4. 4

    Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until thoroughly melted and evenly blended into the oats.

  5. 5

    Ladle the oatmeal into two shallow bowls and garnish evenly with the pumpkin seeds and sliced bananas before serving warm.

Tip

Store any leftover cooked oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with an extra splash of warm water to loosen the texture.
