Notes
Most grains cook to easy ratios you can remember. Rice (just hydrated) is about 2:1 water to grain. Porridge-style grains like oats or grits run 3:1 to 5:1, depending on how loose you like it.
Here we use 1 cup oats to 3 cups liquid—yielding about 1 cup per serving once fruit is added.
You'll notice little added sugar. The fruit provides natural sweetness. If you're new to this, it may taste less sweet than you're used to—but over time your taste buds recalibrate and crave the real thing.
