You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Add oats, water, salt and cinnamon to a small saucepan.
    ¾ cup large flaked oats, 1 ½ cup water, tiny pinch of salt, dash of cinnamon
  • Bring to a gentle simmer and let simmer for about 3-5 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.
  • Add milk and honey and let simmer on low for another 3-5 minutes.
    ½ cup milk of choice
  • Take oatmeal off the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. The oats will continue to thicken.
  • Taste and adjust texture and sweetness. Add more milk for a thinner texture, leave to simmer a little longer for a thicker texture.

Notes

  • Milk of choice: I love unsweetened oat milk but you can also almond milk, soy milk or regular whole milk.
  • Simmer oats in water first: I prefer cooking oats in water first and adding the milk later. This will prevent the from being goopy.
  • Toppings: Get creative with the toppings and change them up with the seasons.
  • Gluten-free oats are readily available.
  • Dairy-free/ vegan: using maple syrup instead of honey and a plant based milk is an easy way to switch to vegan.
  • To store: Keep your oatmeal in the fridge up to 3 days in an airtight container.
