Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water or milk (or a mix)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup (optional)
- Toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, seeds, or a pat of butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring water (or milk) and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the rolled oats and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes (or according to package directions) until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute.
- Serve in a bowl and add your desired toppings and sweetener.
Tips
- For creamier oatmeal, use milk instead of water or a 50/50 mix.
- To save time, use quick-cooking oats and reduce cooking time to 1-2 minutes.
- Store leftover oatmeal in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
