Ingredients

100 g (1 cup) traditional rolled oats
500 ml (2 cups) milk (or half milk, half water)
Pinch of salt
Brown sugar, honey or maple syrup, to serve
Extra milk, to loosen
Sliced banana or berries (optional)

Method

Combine oats, milk and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often so it doesn’t catch. Cook 8–10 minutes until thick and creamy.
Loosen with a splash of milk if needed. Divide into bowls.
Top with brown sugar or honey and fruit if you like.

Tip: Traditional rolled oats beat instant for texture. A pinch of salt makes the sweetness pop. Stir regularly for creaminess.
