How to Make Quick Oats on the Stove

Add 1 cup of quick oats to the smallest pot possible for the amount of oats being cooked.

Pour in 2 cups of milk and add a pinch of salt (optional).

Stir the mixture to combine the oats, milk, and salt.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent bubbling over.

Once simmering, cook the oats for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring as needed.

After 2 to 3 minutes, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid, letting it sit for about 1 minute to thicken.

Serve the oatmeal topped with sliced strawberries and sliced bananas.
