Ingredients

Old Fashioned Oats Recipe

  • 1 cup water or milk
  • ½ cup rolled Oats
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)
  • sweetener of choice

Instructions

  • In medium sauce pan, over medium heat, bring water or milk to a boil.
  • Once boiling, stir in rolled old fashio oats and a pinch of salt.
  • Cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and serve with desired toppings!

Notes

      • Choose the Right Oats: Opt for old-fashioned rolled oats for the perfect texture.
      • Liquid Ratio: Follow the recommended liquid-to-oats ratio for the specific type of oats you're using. Adjust based on your desired consistency.
      • Experiment with Liquid Choices: Use milk (dairy or plant-based) for a creamier texture, or opt for water for a lighter version. You can also use a combination of both.
      • Sweeten Wisely: Start with a modest amount of sweetener and adjust to taste.
      • Toppings: Get creative with toppings like berries, nuts and chocolate chips.
