Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats

- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, water, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the low-fat milk, pure maple syrup, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat the ingredients through.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal rest for a minute to thicken slightly.
Divide the oatmeal equally between two bowls.
