Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or pistachios, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Place the pan on medium heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the raisins and ground cardamom. Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the milk and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, allowing the milk to warm and incorporate into the oatmeal.
Taste and add the brown sugar or honey, if desired, for additional sweetness.
Remove the oatmeal from the heat and portion it into bowls. Top with the chopped nuts, if using, for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
