Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the oats for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until they have absorbed most of the water and have reached your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top with a splash of milk, if desired.
Add your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or additional maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, homemade maple brown sugar oatmeal!
