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.

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.
