Directions

Add the water and pinch of salt to a small pot. Bring to a boil, then add the rolled oats and turn down the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When most of the water has been absorbed, remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Top with fruit, nuts, seeds, and ground flaxseed.

Chef Tips

If pressed for time in the mornings, soak the oats in water the night before and just heat them through for your breakfast.

Nut and seed butters — almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower butter — are also great mix-ins for your oatmeal. Add a tablespoonful into your oatmeal and mix well before topping it with other items.
