Ingredients
- 1 cup oat bran
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup fresh fruits (e.g., berries, sliced banana)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.

Allow the cereal to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract.
Divide the hot oat bran cereal into serving bowls.
