Easy Oatmeal

Special thank you to wellness expert, author, and senior Peloton instructor, Emma Lovewell for sharing this classic breakfast meal.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled Old-Fashioned Oats
• 2 cups Water
• Splash of Almond Milk (or milk of choice)
• Pinch of Salt

Emma’s favorite add-ons:

• Blueberries
• Brown Sugar
• Greek Yogurt
• Cinnamon

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil and add the oats. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Cook for about 3 – 4 minutes. *If not using old-fashioned oats, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. Stir about every minute.

Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let rest for an additional 2 – 3 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. At this point, add a splash of almond milk (or milk of choice) to cool it down and a pinch of salt.

Top with your favorite toppings! Enjoy!

Yields: 2 servings
