Step 1

Bring the water to a boil in a medium or large saucepan (big enough to accommodate about 4 cups of cooked oatmeal with a bit of room to spare).

Step 2

When it reaches a rolling boil, stir in the oats and salt. Boil for one minute (watching closely so it doesn't boil over).

Step 3

Remove from the heat and stir. Cover the pot and let it sit overnight, 8-12 hours.

Step 4

In the morning before serving, stir the oatmeal to recombine the oats with any residual liquid and heat over medium for 1-2 minutes until the oatmeal is heated through.

Step 5

Serve with your favorite oatmeal toppings! We love bananas, craisins, agave nectar or a bit of brown sugar, blueberries, and lots of other fruits.
