Notes

This oatmeal is meant to be enjoyed slowly. The warmth, creamy texture, and steady energy it provides can feel especially comforting on anxious or low-energy days. If your mornings feel rushed, this bowl works just as well in the evening as a gentle, grounding meal. Adjust sweetness and toppings to your taste—simple is often the most calming.
