Topping suggestions: yogurt, maple syrup, fresh fruit, milk
Instructions
In a large and deep saucepan, add the oats, milk, water, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes, until thick. Be careful as it gets thick, it tends to spatter.
Spray an 8 × 8 or 9 × 9-inch pan with nonstick spray. Pour oatmeal in the prepared pan, smooth into an even layer, cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, slice oatmeal into 6 evenly-sized squares. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a small pat of butter (about a teaspoon). Fry oatmeal squares for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve immediately topped with your choice of toppings. I recommend yogurt, maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, or milk.
