Base Oatmeal

Combine liquids and oats
In a small saucepan, combine 1.25 cups water and 0.5 cup whole milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Add oats and salt
Whisk in 1 cup rolled oats and a pinch of fine salt. Reduce heat to low so the mixture maintains a gentle simmer.

Cook to desired consistency
Cook, stirring frequently (every 30–45 seconds) for 5–7 minutes until oats are tender and the mixture is creamy. For thicker oats cook an additional 1–2 minutes; for looser oats add up to 2 tablespoons water or milk.

Finish with butter and sweeteners
Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.

Optional protein or seeds
If using protein powder or collagen, whisk the scoop into 1–2 tablespoons warm milk from the pot until dissolved, then stir into the oatmeal. Add 1 teaspoon chia seeds if desired and let sit 1 minute to hydrate.
