Measure the oats and water, rinse the berries, and set the cinnamon and sesame within reach.
How To Make It
Add the rolled oats and water to a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium high, about 2 to 3 minutes, until the surface bubbles at the edges.
Lower the heat to medium low and cook, stirring now and then, 5 to 7 minutes, until the oats are soft and the pot looks creamy.
Stir in the cinnamon off the heat so it blooms without turning bitter.
Top with the berries and sesame seed and serve warm.
Fix It: If it turns stiff and gluey, loosen it with a splash of hot water and stir; oats keep drinking up liquid as they sit.
Microwave
Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
