Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk (or water, almond milk, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• Fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or apple slices)
• Nuts or seeds for topping (optional)
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, milk (or water), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Simmer: Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and have reached your desired consistency.
3. Sweeten (Optional): Stir in honey or maple syrup for sweetness, along with cinnamon if you like.
4. Top with Fresh Fruit: Pour the cooked oatmeal into bowls. Top with your choice of fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas, berries, or apples.
5. Add Extra Toppings (Optional): For extra crunch, add some chopped nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
6. Serve: Enjoy your warm, nutritious breakfast!

Feel free to get creative with the fruit and toppings based on what's in season or your personal preferences.
