Base Ingredients

Savory Toppers

Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Cook the Oats

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water or milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.

  3. 3

    Remove from Heat

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken.

Adding Sweet Toppers

  1. 4

    Add Sweet Ingredients

    Stir in honey or maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the cooked oatmeal until well combined.

  2. 5

    Top with Berries

    Spoon the sweetened oatmeal into bowls and top with fresh berries.

Adding Savory Toppers

  1. 6

    Prepare Savory Toppings

    For a savory option, slice the avocado and crumble feta cheese.

  2. 7

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Place the sliced avocado on the oatmeal, sprinkle with feta cheese, and drizzle with olive oil. Add chili flakes to taste.
