A delightful twist on the classic oatmeal, featuring toasted oats for a nutty flavor and a creamy texture.
Heat the water in a large saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Using a mix of water and milk can add richness to the oatmeal.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a mild flavor.
Add the oats to the skillet and toast them, stirring constantly, until they are golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Toasting the oats enhances their nutty flavor.
Transfer the toasted oats to the simmering water in the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the salt and stir gently. Continue cooking until the oatmeal reaches a creamy consistency, about 7 minutes.
Adjust the salt to taste, keeping in mind any toppings you plan to add.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit uncovered for 5 minutes before serving.
Letting the oatmeal rest allows it to thicken slightly and enhances the texture.
Serve the oatmeal warm, optionally garnished with your favorite toppings like fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
