Step 1: Making the Oats
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- sea salt, to taste
- ¼ cup fresh berries
- ½ ripe banana, sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or cashews
- 2 tbsp dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries, chopped apples, chopped apricots
- maple syrup (optional)
Combine the oats and 11/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the water has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and sea salt.
To serve, top with the berries, banana, nuts, and/or dried fruit. If desired, pour a little maple syrup on top. Serve hot.
