Stir in mashed banana, peanut butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Stir in honey, to taste, if desired. Top with sliced bananas, chopped peanuts, and additional cinnamon before serving.

A batch of Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal may be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To reheat, put a serving in a bowl, splash with milk, and heat in the microwave for one minute, then stir. If necessary, stir in additional milk or microwave for a bit more time.
This recipe may be made with regular (old-fashioned) rolled oats, but it will require a cooking time of closer to 5 minutes (as opposed to 1-2 minutes for quick oats).
