Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, water (or milk), and salt in a medium saucepan.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid. For creamier oatmeal, continue to stir and cook for an additional minute or two.

    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the brown sugar or maple syrup, if using.

  5. 5

    Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving generously with the fresh mixed berries and any other desired optional toppings.
