Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- 0.5 cups Fresh or dried fruits (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cups Nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Measure out the rolled oats, water, and milk (if using). Combine them in the rice cooker bowl.
Step 2
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir everything together gently using a wooden or plastic spoon.
Step 3
Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the 'cook' setting, as you would when cooking rice.
Step 4
Allow the oatmeal to cook for about 12-15 minutes, depending on the rice cooker model. Stir occasionally if your rice cooker allows you to safely open the lid during cooking to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency (creamy or thicker), turn off the rice cooker. If you find the oatmeal too thick, you can add a splash of milk or water and mix well.
Step 6
Stir in brown sugar, honey, or vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor, if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked oatmeal to serving bowls. Top with fresh or dried fruits, nuts, or seeds as per your preference.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade rice cooker oatmeal!
