Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 tablespoon butter (optional, for richness)
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit (e.g., sliced banana or berries, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy to your desired consistency.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. If using, stir in the honey or maple syrup and butter.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each serving with fresh fruit, nuts or seeds, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty and wholesome dish!
