INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- Fresh fruits (such as sliced bananas, berries, or chopped apples), for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the oats start to absorb the liquid and thicken, reduce the heat to low. If using, add the maple syrup or honey and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
Continue to cook the oats on low heat, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Once the oatmeal is cooked to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Serve:

TIPS
