The oatmeal takes about 10-15 minutes to simmer after bringing it to a boil. You'll want to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Yes, you can substitute with rolled oats or quick oats, but the cooking time may vary. Rolled oats typically take about 5-10 minutes, while quick oats can be ready in 1-3 minutes.
Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or orange juice to restore creaminess.
You can use honey, maple syrup, or a sugar alternative like stevia. Adjust the amount to taste, as sweetness can vary among substitutes.
