Preparation

Chef’s notes

If you’re gluten-free, make sure to buy certified gluten-free oats.
Save the leftovers! Cook a big batch in advance and portion it into individual containers. Reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, and gradually add water or milk, as needed, to thin it to your desired consistency.
Add a dash of salt to bring out the nutty flavor of the oats.
Load it up with hearty toppings like nut butters, yogurt, fresh or dried fruits, seeds, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes.
