Steps
1
If you prefer a deeper, more complex flavor, dry-toast the oats in the cooking pot over high heat, stirring and tossing constantly, until lightly toasted and fragrant, then remove from heat and proceed.
2
If making overnight oats, combine oats and water/milk in a medium saucepan or 3-quart saucier and let stand, covered, overnight (if using milk, let the oats soak in the refrigerator overnight). If not making overnight oats, combine oats and water/milk in the saucepan and proceed with cooking immediately.
3
Bring oats and water/milk to a simmer over medium-high heat, seasoning lightly with a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook uncovered, stirring frequently but slowly, until porridge is well-thickened but still flows slightly, about 5 minutes for overnight oats and 20 minutes for un-soaked oats.
4
If oats are still too firm to your taste, stir in additional water 1/4 cup (60ml) at a time, and continue cooking, until desired texture of oats is reached.
5
Scoop porridge into warmed bowls and top with a pat of butter and/or a splash of cream. Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Serve.
