Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the water into a saucepan and add salt. Bring to a boil, then slowly whisk in the oat bran. Lower the heat and cook for about 2 minutes; it may bubble up so watch your pan. Cover pan with lid and let sit, off the heat, for 2 more minutes.
  2. Spoon the oat bran into 2 bowls, and add a sprinkle of dark brown sugar and some of the fruit/nut/seed mix. Top with a little milk, half and half, or coconut milk, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Monitor the oat bran while cooking to avoid boiling over, as it tends to bubble up.
  • Customize the fruit, nut, and seed mix to suit personal taste or what you have available.
  • Nutrition information provided only covers the cooked oat bran, not the toppings or milk additions.
