Way better than instant. Two parts water, one part oats. Boil the water, turn off the burner, add the oats. Sprinkle a bit of salt. Stir to make sure all the oats are wet, cover. Wait a few minutes.

While you’re waiting, put whatever you want into a bowl - butter, syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, bits of fruit, honey, peanut butter, jelly, etc. (Probably not all of those at once, but you do you.) Serve the oatmeal on top of the add-ons, mix.

    Nothing pleases me more than to have made a post that has lit a discussion about the best way to make oatmeal.

      Agreed. Also. Throw some raisins in when you start cooking them. They rehydrate and give it a nice pop of flavor.
