I notice a real difference in the productivity of my morning when oatmeal is a part of my routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to use wholegrain rolled oats to make oatmeal and only water. I add a splash of almond milk at the end, but only water during the cooking process. The reason for this is that milk has a very low burning temperature, so it&#8217;s easy for your oatmeal to get a nasty burned tang to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adding the almond milk at the very end, you can avoid scalding the milk, so the oatmeal still gets that beautiful creaminess, with none of the burnt flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oatmeal is a great &#8220;blank canvas&#8221; recipe. It adapts beautifully to sweet or savory toppings. I love adding slices of avocado because it adds to the creaminess and provides some healthy fats. Raspberries, add some sweetness and a tang. If you want it to be a little sweeter, add a drizzle of honey, or maple syrup to keep it vegan! If you prefer your oatmeal without sugar, I have tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/how-to-make-oatmeal-taste-good-without-sugar\/\">how to make oatmeal taste good without sugar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy to Prepare.<\/strong>&nbsp;Oatmeal requires no prep and can be cooked in 15 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget-Friendly.<\/strong> Is the classic budget-friendly comforting breakfast that never goes out of style.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customizable.<\/strong> Go wild and garnish your oatmeal with your favorite toppings. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/How-to-Make-the-Perfect-Oatmeal-5-1200x1800.jpg\" alt=\"close up image of a bowl containing an oatmeal with slices of avocado, chia seeds, and raspberries\" class=\"wp-image-2971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/How-to-Make-the-Perfect-Oatmeal-5-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/How-to-Make-the-Perfect-Oatmeal-5-164x246.jpg 164w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/How-to-Make-the-Perfect-Oatmeal-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/How-to-Make-the-Perfect-Oatmeal-5-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/How-to-Make-the-Perfect-Oatmeal-5.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Perfect Oatmeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your morning routine easy with sweet or savory warm oatmeal with the perfect amount of creaminess.
