Prep 5 min Cook 10 min Serves 2 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned or rolled oats
  • 1 3/4 cups 2% milk (or milk of your choice, plus more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Toppings: fruit, nut butter, spices, or nuts ((optional) )

Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the oats. In a small saucepan set over low heat, add the oats, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until bubbles begin to break the surface and oats have absorbed most of the liquid. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the honey and stir to combine.

    Garnish and serve. Top with a variety of fresh fruit, dried fruit, seeds, and nuts, depending on your flavor preferences.
