Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of milk or water*
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (or brown sugar)
- pinch salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- For serving: additional sweetener, cinnamon, nuts, apples
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk/water to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the oats, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the oatmeal, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in any additional sweetener and add any toppings as desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*I often make this with oat milk or coconut milk. Both result in a deliciously creamy texture in the oatmeal. But water also works well!
Leftover oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to about 5 days or frozen for 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding milk or water as needed for the right consistency.
