In a small saucepan, combine the oats, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes until the oats are mostly tender and most of the water is absorbed, adding a splash of water if the pan looks dry.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly whisk a few tablespoons of the hot oats into the bowl of egg whites to warm them, then whisk the warmed egg white mixture back into the saucepan.
Return the pan to low heat. Stir constantly for 3 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy and no clear egg remains. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and half of the maple syrup. Done when opaque and thickened, 160°F.
Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken. Top with the nonfat Greek yogurt, banana slices, cinnamon, and the remaining maple syrup.
