Variations & Tips

Feel free to get creative with this basic oatmeal recipe! You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, stir in some brown sugar or vanilla extract before cooking. For a protein boost, mix in a scoop of protein powder or some chia seeds. You can also swap out the water for more milk or even use coconut milk for a creamier texture. If you have a sweet tooth, try adding dried fruits like raisins or cranberries during the last hour of cooking.
