This stovetop oatmeal relies on a simple ratio of oats, water, and milk to achieve a creamy, tender texture without the gumminess that comes from overcooking. A pinch of salt and a short rest off the heat round out the flavor, making it a reliable base for breakfast toppings like fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method

  1. In a 6-quart saucepan, combine the water, milk, and salt and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

  2. Stir in the rolled oats and reduce the heat to medium-low.

  3. Simmer the oats, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy.

  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and cinnamon until melted and evenly combined.

  5. Cover and let the oatmeal rest off the heat to finish thickening.

  6. Divide the oatmeal among four bowls and drizzle each with honey before serving.
