Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- 1
Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place it on the stove over medium-high heat.
- 2
Wait for the water to reach a rolling boil—you'll see large bubbles rapidly breaking the surface, about 3–4 minutes.
- 3
Slowly pour 1 cup of rolled oats into the boiling water while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming.
- 4
Turn the heat down to medium and add 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
- 5
Stir everything together until the brown sugar and maple syrup dissolve completely and blend with the oats, about 20 seconds.
- 6
Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring once every 30 seconds, until the oatmeal thickens and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 4–5 minutes.
- 7
Pour the oatmeal into two bowls, dividing equally between them.
