Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 2 cups milk, 1 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low.

  2. Step 2

    Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy, about 10-12 minutes. The oatmeal should thicken and look glossy.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes to thicken further. The texture should be soft and spoonable, not runny.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the oatmeal between two bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon honey per bowl, or more to taste. Serve warm.
