What you will need ready
- 1.5 cup oats
- 3 cup milk
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp salt
Step-by-step
- Bring 3 cup milk and 0.25 tsp salt to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in 1.5 cup oats. Reduce to medium-low and cook 5–8 minutes, stirring frequently, until creamy and thickened.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 3 tbsp honey and 1 tsp cinnamon until evenly mixed.
- Cover and rest 1 minute so flavors meld and oats thicken slightly.
- Taste and add another drizzle of honey if desired.
- Divide into bowls and serve warm.
- Top with extra cinnamon or a pat of butter if you like.
- If too thick, stir in 2–4 tablespoons warm milk.
- For firmer oats, cook 1–2 minutes longer.
- Stir from the bottom to prevent scorching.
Serving
Serve in bowls with honey drizzled on top. Refrigerate leftovers 3 days; reheat with milk over low heat.
Cook tips
- Simmer gently—boiling makes oats gluey.
- Add honey off heat so it stays aromatic.
- Salt balances sweetness even in sweet oatmeal.
- Stir often on the bottom of the pan.
