Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring the milk/water to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the oats, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the oatmeal, stirring often, for 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in any additional sweetener and add any toppings as desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*I often make this with oat milk or coconut milk. Both result in a deliciously creamy texture in the oatmeal. But water also works well!

Leftover oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to about 5 days or frozen for 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding milk or water as needed for the right consistency.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Oats First 🔥
Dry toast old-fashioned oats in a pan for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent mushiness by creating a protective coating on each oat.
Use a Liquid Ratio of 1:2 💧
Maintain a 1 cup oats to 2 cups liquid ratio for perfectly fluffy, non-mushy oatmeal that maintains its texture while absorbing all the flavorful seasoning.
Add Cinnamon in Stages 🤎
Bloom half your cinnamon in the cooking liquid at the start for depth, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon on top just before serving to preserve its fresh, aromatic quality.
Dice Apples Just Before Cooking 🍎
Cut apples into small pieces and add them in the last 3-4 minutes of cooking so they stay slightly firm and don't become mushy or turn brown from oxidation.
Toast Nuts Separately for Crunch 🥜
Lightly toast your nuts in a dry pan and add them just before serving instead of cooking them in the oatmeal to maintain their crispy texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
