Instructions
Mash and Combine
In a large microwave-safe bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth. Add the rolled oats, milk, and cinnamon and stir everything together until well combined.
First Microwave Interval
Microwave on high for 2 minutes. The mixture will start to bubble and thicken. Watch carefully to ensure it does not boil over the sides of the bowl.
Stir and Continue Cooking
Remove from the microwave and stir well to incorporate the banana throughout the oats. Return to the microwave and cook for 1 more minute until the oatmeal is creamy and thick.
Rest and Serve
Allow the oatmeal to rest for 1 minute before eating as it will thicken further and cool to a comfortable eating temperature. Add extra banana slices on top and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
