Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a skillet. When butter is melted, add the chopped pecans and pinch of salt. Cook pecans, stirring often, until they are browned and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add salt. Add the oats to the boiling water and turn flame down to low. Cook the oatmeal, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Once oatmeal is sufficiently thickened, mix 1/2 of the buttered pecans mixture into the oatmeal.

Put oatmeal in a serving bowl, add the remaining buttered pecans on top, sprinkle with sugar in the raw to taste, and add milk if you’d like.
