Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cup milk (optional, for creamier oatmeal)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and pour in 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats. Stir to combine.

If you prefer creamier oatmeal, add 1/2 cup of milk at this point. Stir well.

Cook the oats, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are tender.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Divide the oatmeal into two bowls.

Step 8

Top each serving with chopped nuts and fresh fruit, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious bowl of maple and brown sugar oatmeal.
