Notes

  1. Don't over cook your oats. If you over cook, oatmeal may turn soupy with no texture. I like some texture in my oatmeal. 
  2. You could add sugar, honey for sweetness. If you prefer natural sweetness, try adding a mashed banana or pureed dates.
  3. You can add chocolate chips on top of hot oatmeal. Specially if you are making for kids.
  4. You can opt for Soy milk, Almond milk. Oat milk instead of regular milk. 
  5. Don't discard leftover cooked oatmeal. Instead make this oatmeal cake.
