Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
2 cups water or milk (or a mix)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine oats, water or milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the oats are tender and the porridge has thickened.
Remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar or honey and cinnamon if using.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips

For creamier oatmeal, use milk instead of water.
To make it ahead, cook and refrigerate; reheat with a splash of milk.
Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
