How to cook oatmeal

Stovetop Cooking Method.
In a nonstick pot, bring to boil the water or milk.
When the liquid starts boiling, lower the heat and add to the pot rolled oats, maple syrup and pinch salt. If desired, include cinnamon, vanilla and additional ingredients.
Simmer over medium heat for around 5 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches the desired texture. Make sure you stir so that your oats do not stick to the pan. Once the oatmeal is ready, remove from the stove.
Microwave Cooking Method.
In a microwaveable bowl combine oats, maple syrup and pinch salt. If desired, include cinnamon, vanilla and additional ingredients.
Pour in milk of choice or water and, with the help of a spoon, quickly mix the oats. Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Stop, stir and restart the microwave if the oats flood while cooking.
