Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk or water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Stir in the rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats are tender and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
