Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruits (e.g., blueberries or raisins)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Stir in the rolled oats, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt to the oats. Stir well to combine the spices into the mixture.
Pour in the almond milk and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and have reached your desired consistency.
Stir in the chopped walnuts and fresh or dried fruits, distributing them evenly throughout the oatmeal.
Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, sweeten the oats with honey or maple syrup. Stir to ensure even sweetness distribution.
Spoon the oats into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
