Stovetop Oatmeal (Classic)
The Ratio:
Use a 1:2 ratio of oats to liquid (e.g., 1/2 cup oats to 1 cup water or milk).
Cooking: Bring the liquid and a pinch of salt to a boil, stir in the oats, and simmer on medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes until creamy.
Pro-Tip: Add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or nut butter for extra creaminess and satiating fat.
