Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1–2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Salt: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of milk or water along with a pinch of salt to a gentle boil over medium heat, preparing the base for the oatmeal.
- Add Oats and Simmer: Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Let It Thicken: Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal rest for 2 minutes. This allows it to thicken and develop a creamy texture.
- Serve with Toppings: Transfer the oatmeal to bowls and top each serving with 1/2 cup of mixed berries. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey over the top before serving to add natural sweetness.
Notes
- Use milk for creamier oatmeal or water for a lighter option.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Fresh, frozen, or thawed berries can be used depending on availability.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
- To enhance texture, add nuts or seeds as desired.
