Quick & Easy
Old Fashioned Oatmeal
Unlike quick-cooking oats, old-fashioned oatmeal has time to turn extra-creamy and luscious with just a few more minutes of cooking time. With a bit of milk and the toppings of your choice, this oatmeal recipe can be your go-to morning staple for a filling, healthy breakfast.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water or low-fat milk
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk for serving
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, cane sugar or brown sugar for serving
- pinch of cinnamon
Directions:
- Combine water (or milk) and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in oats and reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Top with milk, sweetener, cinnamon and dried fruits or nuts, if desired.
