Notes

This recipe is for one (1) single serving of old-fashioned oatmeal. This recipe easily doubles, triples, you get the idea. Salt is not necessary and I don't add this. Instead, I usually add dried raisins, cranberries, or fresh fruit, like blueberries, strawberries or raspberries for taste. I also add cinnamon or sugar for added flavor.
