The Best Oatmeal Recipe Ever

Oatmeal Bowl with chocolate and cup of coffee
Or at least in my opinion! I make my oatmeal this way most days, I don't use any milk, and it still makes the creamiest porridge

Prep 1 minute
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 3 minutes

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Porridge Oats - wholegrain
  • ½ cup Water - more if you prefer a looser, creamier porridge
  • Pinch Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Chia Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Nut Butter - optional
  • Agave Syrup or sweetener of your preference - optional

Instructions

  • Place the oats, chia seeds, salt, maple syrup (if using) and water in a small bowl
  • Cover and leave overnight (or at least an hour)
  • The next morning (or an hour later), warm the oats through gently on the hob until thickened and starting to gently bubble. I also microwave them if I'm in a hurry, for maybe 2 minutes maximum.
  • Stir through with nut butter if using.
  • Decant into your favourite cereal bowl and enjoy.
  • For extra luxury, I add a square of my favorite dairy-free chocolate to languidly melt on top

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
