Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water or milk (for a creamier texture)
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: Extra milk for serving, nuts, additional cinnamon or sugar for topping
Instructions
- Cook Oatmeal: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or milk to a boil. Add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the raisins, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
- Simmer: Allow the oatmeal to simmer for about 5 minutes (for regular rolled oats) or until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the oatmeal and adjust the sweetness, adding more brown sugar if needed.
- Serve: Serve the oatmeal hot. You can add a splash of milk to loosen it up if it’s too thick. Top with additional cinnamon, sugar, or nuts as desired.
