Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1–2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Bring liquid to boil: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk or water with a pinch of salt and bring it 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 the oats simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Rest to thicken: Remove the pot from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for 2 minutes. This resting time allows the oats to thicken naturally for a creamy texture.
- Serve with toppings: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, then top with 1 cup of mixed berries and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey over the top. Serve warm for the best flavor and comfort.
Notes
- Use milk for a creamier texture or water for a lighter option.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for variation.
- Fresh or frozen berries can be used depending on availability.
- For added nutrition, consider adding nuts or seeds as extra toppings.
