Top with fresh berries and chopped nuts if desired. Serve warm.
Chef's Tips
- Creaminess: For extra creaminess, use milk instead of water or a mix of both.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
- Toppings: Experiment with toppings like banana slices, chia seeds, or a dollop of yogurt.
- Storage: Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
- Quick Prep: For a quicker breakfast, try overnight oats by soaking the oats in milk overnight in the fridge.
