Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 cups Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Milk (optional, for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 optional Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Place a medium skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats to the skillet and stir them constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula to coat them evenly in butter.

Step 3

Continue toasting the oats for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 4

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Once the oats are toasted, carefully add them to the boiling water. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the oats simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the oats reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the oatmeal from heat and let it sit, covered, for 2 minutes to finish thickening.

Step 8

Serve the toasted oatmeal warm. Add a splash of milk, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and top with your favorite fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
