Smash the bananas really well until they resemble puree.
Add the water to a pot on the stove and whisk in the banana until well incorporated.
Add the oats to the water and THEN turn on the stove to medium-high. As soon as the oatmeal comes to a simmer, turn down the heat to low, add the cinnamon and salt, and cook until desired consistency, stirring occasionally, This takes less than 10 minutes.
Spoon into individual bowls and top with (or stir in) ingredients of choice.
