US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups milk - I use full fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Note: Cooking time will vary depending what type of oats are used. I use Quaker Quick oats. Rolled oats will take a little longer to cook.
    1. Pour the Oats into a medium pot, then add the water. Stir. Cook on medium heat for about 1 minute, or until almost all of the water is soaked up by the oats.
    2. Slowly add 1 cup of the milk. Stir to combine. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until oats are thicken up. Add vanilla extract (optional) Then add the rest of the milk. Stir, and let cook for another few minutes, stirring ocasionally. The mixture will thicken up beautifully, and will look creamy. Turn off the heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter. Give it a swirl. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
    Some of my favorite topping ideas are:
    1. Blueberry Oatmeal: Cinnamon-Sugar, Blueberries, chopped dates, chopped pecan nuts
    2. Banana Split Oatmeal: Sliced Strawberries, banana, chopped walnuts, broken pieces of good chocolate.
    3. Mixed Berry Citrus Oatmeal: Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, a little finely grated lemon zest, sprinkle of cinnamon powder, maple syrup
    4. Apple pie Oatmeal: apple, cinnamon-sugar, honey, slivered almonds, or chopped pecan nuts
    5. Chocolate Coconut Oatmeal: Almond butter, toasted coconut, chopped walnuts, drizzle of chocolate syrup, or melted chocolate
    6. Peanut butter Banana Oatmeal: Peanut butter, sliced banana, chopped peanuts, chopped almonds, brown sugar
    All recipes are on my website in the Breakfast section. Enjoy!
