Ingredients
Oatmeal Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 cups milk Whole milk makes it creamier, but skim or plant milk works fine.
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar Brown sugar gives a deeper flavor.
- 1 tsp cinnamon Increase to 1.5 tsp for more warmth if desired.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Don’t skip the vanilla; it rounds out the flavors.
- 1/8 tsp salt A tiny pinch pulls the flavors together.
Instructions
Preparation
- Add all of your ingredients to a medium saucepan.
- Cook over low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often.
- Keep the heat steady so the milk does not boil over.
- Stir slowly and deliberately, ensuring not to leave the pot alone.
- Watch the mixture thicken as the oats absorb the milk.
- Once fully cooked, add the oatmeal to a bowl and serve it warm.
- Taste for seasoning, adding more cinnamon or salt if needed.
- Serve warm with various toppings such as butter, cream, or fruit.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For meal-prep, divide into single-serving containers. Reheat with a splash of milk to loosen the texture.
