How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt

    In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt.

  2. Bring the mixture

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.

  3. Reduce the heat to low

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the porridge reaches your desired consistency, stirring frequently to create a creamy texture.

    7 min

  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat

    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the oats to fully hydrate.

    2 min

  5. Transfer the oatmeal

    Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl. Top with a teaspoon of butter and drizzle with honey while warm.

A little kitchen wisdom

For a richer texture, you can use only milk. For a lighter version, use only water. Traditionally, it is often topped with cinnamon or fresh seasonal berries.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

You can cook the oatmeal in bulk and store it; however, it will thicken significantly. Add a splash of milk when reheating.

Store & enjoy

Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop or in a microwave, adding extra liquid (milk or water) to restore the creamy texture.
