Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons granola
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 banana (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the rolled oats, salt, and cinnamon. Reduce heat to medium and let it simmer gently.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb most of the water and reach a creamy consistency.
If using milk for added creaminess, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.
Divide the oatmeal evenly into two bowls.
Top each bowl with a tablespoon of chopped pecans, a tablespoon of granola, and additional maple syrup to taste.
Optional: Slice half a banana and scatter the slices on top for natural sweetness and added texture.
Serve warm and enjoy!
