Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (optional, any type)
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit (e.g., banana slices, berries)
- 2 tablespoons nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, chia seeds)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency.
If you prefer creamier oatmeal, stir in the milk during the last minute of cooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl.
Stir in brown sugar or honey and ground cinnamon, if using, for added sweetness and flavor.
Top the oatmeal with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds to enhance taste and texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your nourishing breakfast!
