- You can customize this recipe by adding other fruits, like berries or apple slices, for extra nutrition and variety.
- If you like your oatmeal thicker, reduce the amount of water slightly. For a thinner consistency, add a little more milk.
- To save time in the morning, you can prepare your oatmeal the night before and just reheat it in the microwave or on the stove.
