Instructions

Add water, rolled oats, maple syrup, salt and cinnamon to a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until almost all the water has been absorbed.
Then add the milk and let simmer for another 1-2 minutes or until desired thickness.
Mash one of the bananas with a fork and stir into the oats followed by the yogurt if using..
Let the porridge sit for about 2-3 minutes (it will thicken even more). If you prefer a thinner porridge, add a splash of milk. For a thicker texture, continue simmering the oats to desired thickness.
