Tips

– For a creamier texture, add more liquid before boiling.
– If you prefer a chewier texture, reduce the liquid and cook for a shorter amount of time.
– You can also cook the oats in a microwave. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of oats with 1 cup of liquid and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
– To add flavor to your oats, add a pinch of salt, honey, maple syrup, or other sweetener. You can also add a variety of fruits, nuts, and seeds.
– Leftover cooked oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
