In a small saucepan, bring milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat (watch it closely so that it doesn't boil over!).
¾ cup milk
Add the mashed banana to the pot along with the oats, chia seeds and salt.
½ medium banana, ⅓ cup large flake rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the oatmeal is mostly thickened.
1 egg
If using, whisk in the egg. Stir constantly and quickly until the egg is cooked and the oatmeal is thick and creamy, about 1-2 additional minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and top with cream, the sliced banana and any additional toppings that you'd like.
2 tablespoon cream, ½ banana
Enjoy!
Notes
Make Ahead and Leftovers: This oatmeal is best enjoyed fresh but if you'd like to prep it ahead or have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.If you can, wait to add the sliced banana and cream until just before serving. When ready to eat, rewarm the oatmeal in the microwave and top with the banana slices and cream.
