Base recipe
½ cup rolled old fashioned oats
1 cup milk of choice (plant-based milks such as almond milk work well)
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed (optional)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Topping options
Sliced banana
Berries of your choice
Pomegranate seeds
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Chopped dates
Chopped pecans, or nut of choice
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the water and milk to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the toppings and let rest for a few minutes to cool. Thin with a little more milk, if desired.
Serve warm.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days in the fridge.
