Oatmeal Base

Finish & Toppings

Method

Oatmeal Base

1

Measure

Measure 1 cup rolled oats and 1 3/4 cups of your chosen liquid (use milk for creamier texture or water for lighter oats).

2

Combine

Place the liquid and 1 tsp salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring just to a simmer (small bubbles at the edges).

3

Cook

Add the oats to the simmering liquid, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until thickened and creamy. For firmer oats cook toward 5 minutes; for creamier oats cook toward 7–8 minutes. If the mixture becomes too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons of extra liquid and stir.

4

Finish Base

Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 tsp butter or oil if using, and 1 tablespoon sweetener. Taste and adjust salt or sweetener as desired.

Finish & Toppings

5

Toast Almond Flakes

While oats cook or immediately after, heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons almond flakes and toast, stirring or shaking the pan, for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning. Remove from heat.

6

Assemble

Spoon cooked oatmeal into a serving bowl. Sprinkle the toasted almond flakes on top. Add optional 1/2 cup fresh fruit and a dusting of 1 tsp ground cinnamon if using.

7

Serve

Serve warm. Offer additional milk, sweetener, or toppings at the table.
