Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- 0.5 cups Fresh or dried fruits (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cups Nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Measure out the rolled oats, water, and milk (if using). Combine them in the rice cooker bowl.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir everything together gently using a wooden or plastic spoon.
Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the 'cook' setting, as you would when cooking rice.
Allow the oatmeal to cook for about 12-15 minutes, depending on the rice cooker model. Stir occasionally if your rice cooker allows you to safely open the lid during cooking to prevent sticking.
Once the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency (creamy or thicker), turn off the rice cooker. If you find the oatmeal too thick, you can add a splash of milk or water and mix well.
Stir in brown sugar, honey, or vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor, if desired.
Transfer the cooked oatmeal to serving bowls. Top with fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds as per your preference.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade rice cooker oatmeal!
