- 1 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium firm-ripe bananas

- 1 ½ tablespoons dark brown sugar, plus more for serving
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup toasted walnut pieces, optional
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot.
- Stir in the oats and simmer, uncovered, over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

- Spoon the grain mixture into serving bowls, top with the bananas and walnuts, if using.
- Drizzle with additional milk and/or sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
