Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water (or milk), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency. If using quick oats, cook for 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the oatmeal is cooking, lightly toast the sliced almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

  4. 4

    Pour the cooked oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top generously with the fresh or frozen berries and the toasted almonds.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with maple syrup or honey, if desired, before serving warm.
