Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup mixed nuts
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 2 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low.

  2. 2

    Simmer the oats, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 5-7 minutes. The oatmeal should look thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1 tablespoon honey. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the oatmeal is hot and has a smooth, pourable consistency.

  4. 4

    Toast 1/4 cup mixed nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking often, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with the toasted nuts. Drizzle with extra honey or milk if desired. Serve warm.
