Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (optional, can use dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- as needed fresh fruit (e.g., sliced bananas, berries) or nuts (optional toppings)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the oats for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until the oats are soft and have absorbed the liquid.
Stir in the milk (if using) for a creamier texture and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, or any additional toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, maple-infused oatmeal!
