- Once the oatmeal is cooked to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for added sweetness.

- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use less milk or let the oatmeal cook a bit longer.
- For a vegan option, substitute cow’s milk with almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Top with nuts or seeds, like almonds or chia seeds, for extra crunch and nutrition.
