Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- fresh fruit or nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, stir in 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy.
If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract at this point.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top with your choice of fresh fruit or nuts.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy cinnamon oatmeal.
