Bring the oats and water to boil in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed.
While the oats are cooking, mash half of the banana and chop the date.
Add the banana, date, cinnamon and vanilla to the porridge and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Pour into a bowl and top with the banana slices and a handful of walnuts.
