Rest and absorb
RestRemove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid, then let it rest for a few minutes to give the oats time to absorb the liquid. If they look too dry, stir in a splash more liquid.
Top and serve
On topSpoon the oatmeal into a bowl, top with your favourite ingredients such as fresh fruit, nuts or a drizzle of maple syrup, and serve warm.
Cook's noteSalt the pot, not the bowl — a small pinch keeps the oats from tasting flat. Coarse salt is easier to judge by eye than fine table salt.
