Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoons Sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar)
- to taste Toppings (e.g., fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, nut butter)
- 0.5 teaspoons Spices (optional, such as cinnamon or nutmeg)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a gentle boil.
Stir in the rolled oats and salt. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently.
Cook the oats for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the water and reached your desired consistency.
For a creamier texture, stir in the optional 1/4 cup of milk and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of your sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar).
Serve the oatmeal in bowls and top with your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, nut butter, or spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor.
Enjoy immediately while warm!
