Oatmeal is one of my favourite breakfasts. There’s something comforting about the warm, creamy texture that just feels like home. I love to customize it, adding fresh berries, bananas, apples, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. On chilly days, I love to enjoy my oatmeal warm, and on summer days I love to enjoy it chill as overnight oats.

Preparing oatmeal is simple and can be customized to your taste! Here’s a basic method:

Ingredients

• Rolled oats (about 75-100gr per serving)
• Water or milk (I like to varies my milk, mostly with plant-based milk such as coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, and or almond milk)
• Honey or Maple syrup (I’m mostly like my oatmeal bowl a bit sweet)
• Protein powder (optional for extra protein)
• Salt (a pinch, optional)

Instructions

1. Measure the oats and liquid: Use 75gr of rolled oats and 250ml of water or milk. You can adjust the amounts based on how many servings you need.
2. Add the oats: In a small pot, add in oats and pour in the liquid.
3. Boil the the mixture: Stir the oatmeal and liquid until well combined and let it boil.
4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. For creamier oatmeal, you can cook it a bit longer.
5. Customize: Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for a minute. Then, add your favorite toppings! Consider fresh or dried fruits, nuts, seeds, honey, maple syrup, or spices like cinnamon.
6. Serve: Enjoy your oatmeal warm!

Feel free to experiment with different toppings and flavours to make it your own!
