Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flakes (regular, mountain oats)
• 3 cups milk (regular, plant-based or water)
• 3 tablespoons sugar (or to taste) or vanilla sugar

Toppings for example

• maple syrup or honey or cane sugar
• cinnamon
• walnuts or pecans
• seasonal or exotic fruits (raspberries, blueberries, berries, banana, mango, passion fruit, apple, orange)
• juice from citrus fruits

Preparation

1. Pour the oat flakes into a pot, fill the pot with cold tap water, then drain the cloudy water along with the hard husks collected on top.
2. Pour the drained flakes with milk (or a mixture of water and milk), add a little salt and sugar or vanilla sugar. Bring everything to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and cook until soft for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Initially the oatmeal will be thinner, over time it thickens.
4. Serve with your favorite toppings like e.g. cane sugar or maple syrup, fruits, nuts.
