Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and whole milk over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Add the rolled oats and salt to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine.
Immediately reduce the heat to low to prevent the milk from scorching. Cook the oats, stirring frequently, for about 7-10 minutes or until they reach your desired creaminess and thickness.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, butter, and ground cinnamon to the oatmeal. Stir until the ingredients are well incorporated, and the butter is fully melted.
Taste the porridge and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if desired by adding more sugar or a pinch of salt.
Divide the oatmeal porridge into two bowls.
If desired, top each bowl with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor and sweetness.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your nut-free creamy oatmeal porridge!
