BASIC BREAKFAST OATMEAL RECIPE

Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats (45g)
1/2 cup water (120ml)
1/2 cup milk (120ml)
1 tbsp butter
pinch of salt
1-2 tsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
1-2 tsp maple syrup, honey or agave

Preparation:

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the rolled oats and toast them for about 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. This step enhances the flavor and prevents sogginess.

Once the oats are toasted, pour in half a cup of boiling water, this jump-starts the cooking process. Add a pinch of salt for flavor balance.

As the oats begin to absorb the water, pour in the milk when they are about halfway cooked. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes without excessive stirring.

For an even creamier texture, stir in a spoonful of Greek yogurt or sour cream right after cooking. Cover the pan and let it sit for 2 minutes before serving.

Stir in your preferred sweetener like maple syrup and spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.

Customize your oatmeal with a variety of toppings! Choose from fruits, chocolate, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or even your homemade granola.

Serve and enjoy!
