Cooking Instructions:
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup almond milk or water, and a pinch of salt.

  3. Continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are tender and creamy.
  4. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, let the oats sit for a minute after cooking.
  • Make a batch ahead of time for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
