• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 Banana, sliced, to serve
• ground cinnamon, to dust

Method

2. Stir in the oats and salt and cook over medium heat for 3 min.
3. Add the milk and sugar and simmer for 5–7 min, stirring often, until creamy and as thick as you like.
4. Remove the cinnamon sticks, stir in the vanilla and serve topped with banana and a dusting of cinnamon.

• Use certified gluten-free oats if needed, and plant milk to make it vegan.
