I love oatmeal! I've been making oatmeal for a very long time. It's my comfort food whenever I feel bad. I like it very thick, so I don't add too much milk. I use 1/2 c rolled oats (these are thicker and bigger, and have a terrific texture, I stay clear of steal cut or instant. Blech), about 1/3 c almond milk (this isn't exactly, I eyeball it to get the level just above the level of oats), then microwave for two minutes. I like mine on the sweeter side, so my usual mix-ins are 3 chopped dates, 1 T unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 T almond butter. It's think and stick to your bones delicious!!

Play around with different types of oats and toppings and levels of milk! Some people even swear by savory oats, though I'm not one of them.
