Oat Bran Cereal

Oat bran cereal is a one-pot breakfast built from just three ingredients, and the ratio is the whole recipe. Two tablespoons of oat bran to one cup of water, with a pinch of salt, gives a smooth, creamy bowl in about five minutes of simmering. The salt sharpens the natural sweetness of the oats. Bulk bins now make oat bran easy to buy in small amounts, so you can try it cheaply.

Instructions

Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan.

Stir in the oat bran and the salt.

Turn the heat down and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the cereal has thickened to a porridge you like. Serve hot, with maple syrup and sliced bananas if you wish.
