Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- Chopped nuts or fruits for topping (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the oatmeal uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the water.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of butter until fully melted and incorporated into the oatmeal.
If a creamier texture is desired, mix in 0.5 cup of milk and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
For added flavor, sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and stir well.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Serve the oatmeal hot, topped with your choice of chopped nuts or fruits if desired.
