Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir well to mix.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal thickens to your desired consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal cool for 1 minute.
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls.
Top with chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or additional cinnamon, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
