I had posted my recipe for oatmeal a while back. As it’s getting chilly, I’ve started having it for breakfast again. This time though, I had whole milk in the house because I had been using it for baking. I think this improves the taste a lot. So my new recipe for oatmeal is:

1 cup water
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup oatmeal
pat of butter
pinch of salt

Heat up the water, milk, salt and butter, not necessarily to a boil, but get it a little warm. Add the oats and put on low for about 1/2 hour. I always use a nonstick pan because I’ve been known to put this on and go back to bed for a bit. Sometimes things burn a little and it makes cleanup easier. Though, even with a little burning, the oatmeal tastes ok. I used to toast the oatmeal before adding it in. I haven’t been doing that because I just don’t feel like cleaning another pan.
