Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butterscotch chips
• 0 Chopped nuts or caramelized bananas (optional toppings)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the mixture starts to thicken (about 3-4 minutes), reduce the heat to low and stir in the brown sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 4

Continue to cook the oatmeal for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the butterscotch chips, allowing them to melt slightly into the oatmeal.

Step 6

Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls and top with chopped nuts or caramelized bananas, if desired.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy your decadent butterscotch oatmeal!
