+Oats are great for breakfast. On their own they're pretty bland, but become
+great when you add some things to the bowl. This recipe offers some suggestions
+on what to add, but is by no means a comprehensive overview of what you can do
+with oats.
+
+We cover both rolled and steel cut oats. Instant need not apply.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- oats
+- water
+- pinch of salt
+
+Pick and choose additional ingredients:
+
+- chopped banana
+- any berries
+- cinnamon
+- peanut butter
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Bring water (with pinch of salt) to boil.
+2. Add oats. Use a 2:1 water-to-oats ratio (by volume) for rolled oats, 3:1 for
+   steel cut.
+3. Boil on medium heat until most of the water has been absorbed/evaporated.
+   Rolled oats will be ready quicker than steel cut.
+4. Pour over fruit in bowl (if having fruit).
+5. Sprinkle cinnamon (if having cinnamon).
+6. Mix.
+7. Add a spoonful of peanut butter (if having peanut butter).
+
+## Serving sizes
+
+You'll need less dry steel cut oats versus rolled oats for the same serving
+size. My personal "standard serving" is 1/3 cup steel cut or 1/2 cup rolled
+(note that, per the ratios above, both of these end up needing 1 cup water).
