Step-by-Step Instructions

Rinse the oats under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer for about 1 minute to prevent gumminess.

Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
Let the oats simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy.

Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls, adding milk or cream if desired.
Top with your favorite toppings like walnuts, berries, or chocolate shavings.
Enjoy the oats warm for a cozy start to your day.
