1
Choose Your Base
Decide whether you want to use water or milk as the base for your oatmeal. If you prefer creaminess, milk is the better choice. For a lighter option, go with water.
2
Boil the Base
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of water or milk and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Add Oats
Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of rolled oats. Allow it to simmer.
4
Sweeten the Oatmeal
Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the simmering oats and stir well to combine. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are creamy.
5
Prepare the Toppings
While the oatmeal is cooking, prepare your choice of preserves. You can use any flavor you like such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot.
6
Serve
Once the oatmeal reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with 1 tablespoon of your choice of preserves.
