Combine rolled oats, water (or milk), and salt in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal is cooked to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and transfer the oatmeal to a bowl.
Top with fresh berries, your choice of sweetener (if using), and nuts or seeds (if using).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
For a creamier oatmeal, use milk instead of water.
Adjust the cooking time based on your desired consistency. Cook longer for thicker oatmeal.
You can also cook oatmeal in the microwave. Combine ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
