Method
Oatmeal base
- 1
- 2
Add salt
Stir in 1 teaspoon fine sea salt to enhance flavor.
- 3
Cook
Bring mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until oats are tender and most liquid is absorbed. For creamier texture, stir more frequently during the last 2–3 minutes.
Fruit & sweeteners
- 4
Add dried fruit
When the oats are about 2 minutes from done (still slightly loose), stir in 1 tablespoon dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons raisins so they plump while the oats finish cooking.
- 5
Add fresh fruit (optional)
If using grated apple or pear, stir in 1/2 cup now; it will soften and meld with the oats as they finish cooking.
- 6
Sweeten
Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey to taste.
Flavor & finishing
- 7
Season
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Taste and adjust: add a pinch of salt or additional maple syrup if desired.
- 8
Rest briefly
Let the oatmeal sit off the heat for 2 minutes to thicken and allow flavors to meld.
