Instructions
Add oats, milk, water, and banana to a pot.
1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 banana
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally with small, fast circles to whip the oats, until oats start to become creamy. Cook longer for a thicker consistency, shorter for a soupier consistency. Experiment with what works best for your baby!
Right before you remove from heat, stir in chia seeds. They will soak up liquid and thicken the oatmeal slightly. Pour oatmeal into a bowl.
1 tsp chia seeds
Top with peanut butter by stirring it thoroughly into the oatmeal. (clumps of peanut butter are a choking hazard under 4!) Sprinkle walnuts on top. Serve fruit on top or the side.
