Method
Put the oats and milk in a small pan and simmer for 4 minutes, stirring, until thick and creamy. Or microwave for 2 and a half minutes, stirring halfway.
Pour it into a bowl and top with the sliced banana and the spoonful of peanut butter.
Finish with a pinch of cinnamon if you like it. Let it cool for a minute - porridge holds its heat.
