Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butterscotch chips
- Chopped nuts or caramelized bananas (optional toppings)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture starts to thicken (about 3-4 minutes), reduce the heat to low and stir in the brown sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
Continue to cook the oatmeal for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the butterscotch chips, allowing them to melt slightly into the oatmeal.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls and top with chopped nuts or caramelized bananas, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your decadent butterscotch oatmeal!
