Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats not instant or quick cooking
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add butter, water, honey and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the honey and salt.
  • When the mixture comes to a bubble, stir in the oatmeal and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. (If your skillet doesn’t have a lid, carefully cover the pan with aluminum foil.)
  • Remove the lid, stir in sliced almonds then remove from heat. Serve nice and warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to use old-fashioned oats, not instant or quick cooking, to get that wonderful chewy texture!
