Oatmeal with Banana and Almond Butter

1. 1
   boil · ~3 min

   Bring water and salt to a boil.

   In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water and a pinch of salt to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

   TIPSalting the water seasons the oats from the inside out, just like pasta.
2. 2
   simmer · ~6 min

   Cook the oats until creamy.

   Stir in the rolled oats, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.

   TIPStirring helps release the starches for a creamier texture.
3. 3
   rest · ~1 min

   Rest the oatmeal off the heat.

   Remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let it sit for 1 minute. The oats will finish absorbing any remaining liquid.

4. 4
   assemble · ~1 min

   Divide oatmeal into bowls and add toppings.

   Spoon the oatmeal into two bowls. Swirl 1 tablespoon of almond butter into each bowl, top with sliced banana, and finish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon.

5. 5
   serve
