Notes

Milk: I start with 2 tablespoons of milk added after the oats have cooked and sometimes add an extra splash. Adjust to get your desired consistency.
Milk type: I use soy milk for the milk here but regular milk (skim, 2% or whole) is great, too.
Toppings: Mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, drizzle of peanut butter, banana or strawberry slices, etc.
