How to Make Perfect Oatmeal.

Serves 2–3 · Prep: 1 min · Cook: 5 min

Make It

1. Add 1 cup rolled oats to a saucepan with 2 cups water or milk of choice and a pinch of sea salt.

2. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

3. Reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and creamy.

4. Remove from the heat and let sit 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

• Use organic old-fashioned rolled oats. Choose certified gluten-free oats if needed.

• Two parts liquid to one part oats. More liquid gives you porridge, less gives you a thick spoonable bowl.

• Do not skip the salt. Oats taste flat without it.

• Oats on their own will not hold you. Stir in protein powder or serve with eggs, and see Protein Oatmeal for the full build.

• Counts as Complex Carbs at ½–1 cup cooked.
