   • 1 1/2 cupsunsweetened milk (dairy or plant-based)
   • a pinchfine sea salt

   Step 2: Cook and flavor

   Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla during the last minute of cooking to bloom their flavors.

   Step 4: Assemble bowls

   Divide the oatmeal between two bowls. Top each with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a generous handful of fresh mixed berries, and a sprinkle of toasted chopped nuts for crunch.

   For this step

   • 1 cupfresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
   • 1/2 cupplain Greek yogurt (for topping)
   • 1/4 cupchopped nuts (almonds or walnuts), toasted
