Ingredients:
½ cup rolled oats
1 cup water or non-dairy milk
¼ teaspoon salt1 tsp chia seeds or handful sliced almonds
Local honey and cinnamon to taste
Preparation:
1. In a small saucepan, bring the water or milk and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, stir in the oats and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the oatmeal simmer for 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency. Make sure to stir occasionally.
