- The healthiest oatmeal is made with just water — it's not as rich as the milk version, and it's lighter and lower in calories. Pour the water into a pot and set it on the heat. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to its minimum and add salt. Even though this is a sweet dish, a little salt won't hurt: it won't take over or compete with the honey's sweetness, just round out and brighten the overall flavor. Rolled oats don't need rinsing or even soaking — cook them straight from the package. The one thing to watch for is loose hulls; some brands don't remove them fully, and they turn up hard and unpleasant in the porridge. Add the oats to the boiling water, stir well, and simmer over very low heat until thickened — usually about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't get too thick. It shouldn't look like ordinary cooked grain with all the liquid absorbed; the finished consistency is more like pancake batter. Once you take the pot off the heat, the oats will keep soaking up liquid, so if there's hardly any left, the porridge will end up too thick. When the oatmeal has thickened enough, turn it off. Add the butter and honey — you can melt them in a water bath and stir them in as liquids, but you don't have to. Cover the porridge and let it sit a couple of minutes; the honey and butter will melt. Stir them in, portion it into bowls, and enjoy a great, wholesome breakfast.
- Garnish if you like — with berries, nuts, grated chocolate, banana slices, and other fresh fruit, or dried fruit. Good morning!
