Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- as desired Toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, cinnamon)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the water and reached your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the milk, if using, to make the oatmeal creamier.
Transfer the oatmeal to serving bowls and drizzle with honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, and serve warm.
