- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the oatmeal for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches a creamy consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
