Cooking Tips

• Make sure to stir the oatmeal occasionally while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
• For a creamier texture, you can substitute some of the milk with heavy cream.
• Feel free to add some sliced bananas or a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top for extra flavor and presentation.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, simply microwave the oatmeal for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Serve the oatmeal chilled, straight from the refrigerator, for the best texture and taste.
