Instructions

Gather Your Tools: Prepare a medium saucepan, a whisk, and bowls for serving and toppings.
Combine Ingredients: Place the rolled oats and milk into the saucepan over medium heat and whisk together until well combined.
Cook the Oats: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the cinnamon. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the milk.
Add Sweetener: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup or honey to sweeten the oatmeal to your taste.
Serve and Top: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and generously add your choice of toppings such as sliced bananas, berries, or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

You can substitute any kind of milk, including plant-based options like almond or oat milk, to suit dietary preferences.
Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste or dietary needs.
For a creamier oatmeal, cook the oats for a few extra minutes or add a splash of milk at the end.
Try adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor complexity.
This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
