For a healthy breakfast, there’s nothing like a classic oatmeal for one. It gives you a bounty of whole grains to help you start your day off right. This instant oatmeal isn't made with quick oats. It's made with good old-fashioned oats.
Add rolled oats, maple syrup, and salt to a bowl and pour hot water over the top.
Let sit for 3-5 minutes until the oats have soaked up most of the hot water.
Stir your bowl of oatmeal and add your favorite toppings!

Notes
Storage TipsI always think it’s best to make oatmeal fresh for when you’re going to eat it. That said, you may be too full to finish off your oatmeal for one. Here’s how you can save it for later.
Fridge: In the fridge, oatmeal will last for up to 5 days, though I definitely think it will be best if you get to it sooner rather than later. You’ll probably need to add more liquid to liven it back up again.
Freeze: You can also freeze oatmeal if you need to, though again, making it when you’re ready to eat it will be better. Oatmeal can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months when stored properly.
