Method
Oatmeal Base
Combine and cook
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1.5 cups water and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring every 30 seconds, until oats are tender and most liquid is absorbed, about 6–8 minutes for rolled oats. If you prefer softer oats, simmer up to 10 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed.
Milk Choice & Sweetener
When oats are done, remove from heat and stir in the warmed milk and 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup, if using. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Mix-ins & Toppings
Stir in 2 tbsp dried cranberries and 2 tbsp raisins into the hot oatmeal so they soften slightly and distribute evenly.
Top the oatmeal with 2 tbsp roughly chopped walnuts and optional 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. Add 1/2 cup fresh fruit if desired.
Taste and adjust: add more milk for creaminess, a pinch of salt for balance, or more sweetener if needed.
