Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) or water for a lighter version
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of nutmeg or allspice (optional, but highly encouraged)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings sliced banana, berries, nuts, seeds, and a drizzle of nut butter

Instructions

  • In a small pot, combine oats, liquid, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and soft (about 5–7 minutes).
  • Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweetener. Taste and adjust for your sweet-to-spice balance.
  • Remove from heat. If you like it extra cozy, add a splash more milk to loosen it up.
  • Divide into bowls and top with your favorite goodies. Serve warm and enjoy the hug.
