Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats opt for organic if this is going to be your daily go-to breakfast
2 cups water
1/4 tsp salt
toppings and sweetener of choice see notes

Instructions

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil.
Add the oats and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer the oats for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they've absorbed most of the water and are creamy and tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Serve the oatmeal hot and add the sweetener and toppings of your choice, or eat it plain.

Notes

It's easy to overdo it with sweeteners and offset the nutritional value you're getting from the oats. Consider using a measuring spoon to moderate your consumption. Adding fresh fruits will add sweetness while keeping things cholesterol-friendly.
