When the mornings get chilly, nothing beats a classic bowl of oatmeal to start the day right. It is simple, filling, and provides that cozy feeling we all crave before heading out the door.

My favorite trick for the perfect texture is to stir in a pinch of salt right at the start. It really makes the flavor of the oats pop, even before you add your favorite toppings.

🧺 Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups water or milk of your choice
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup fresh berries or sliced fruit for topping

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Combine the oats, liquid, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
3
Cook for about five to seven minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the oats are creamy.
4
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cinnamon and your sweetener.
5
Pour into a bowl and top with your favorite fresh fruit before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can easily reheat it with a splash of milk to bring back that creamy consistency. Feel free to stir in a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness.
