👩‍🍳 Making It with Jamie & Max

Jamie: Max, I need something warm. My stomach feels kind of off this morning.
Chef Max: Sounds like oatmeal time! It’s easy, cozy, and your gut will thank you.
Jamie: Okay… what’s the fastest version?
Chef Max: Add oats and milk to a pot. Medium heat. Stir it while it thickens — about 3 minutes.
Jamie: And the rest?
Chef Max: Slice in banana, sprinkle cinnamon, add chia or flax. Stir. Done.
Jamie: I love it. Can I throw in berries?
Chef Max: Always. Or a spoon of peanut butter if you're feeling extra hungry.
Jamie: What if I prep it the night before?
Chef Max: Then you’ve got overnight oats! Just soak oats in milk with banana and cinnamon, and it’s ready by morning. Add toppings before eating.
Jamie: This is great. I always thought oatmeal was boring.
Chef Max: Not when you know how to mix it up. Sweet, savory, or spiced — it’s a blank canvas.
