Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.25 cup Raisins
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, raisins, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 4

If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add a little extra milk or water to thin it out to your liking.

Step 5

Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract (if using) during the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and top with your favorite garnishes, such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy!
