Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, flaxseed meal, almonds, milk or water, optional sweetener, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Cook on Stovetop: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce Heat and Simmer: Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. For a creamier oatmeal, cook for a slightly longer time. For a chewier oatmeal, cook for a shorter duration.
Microwave Option: Alternatively, for a quicker method, combine all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until the oatmeal is cooked through and thickened. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave wattage. Be careful as the bowl can get hot.
Rest (Optional): Let the oatmeal sit for a minute or two after cooking to allow it to thicken further and the flavors to meld.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the oatmeal into bowls and serve hot. Add your favorite toppings (see “How to Serve” section below) and enjoy your nutritious and delicious breakfast!
