In a medium sized pot, then combine the rolled oats, water or almond milk, and a pinch of salt.
Now boil the mixture and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the chia seeds, flaxseeds, and cinnamon powder. Stir well.
Now, let the porridge cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After the oats have assimilated the majority of the liquid and become tender, discontinue heating and blend in the vanilla extract.
Pour the porridge into a bowl and top with sliced bananas, mixed berries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
