1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups water

¼ tsp pink salt (optional)
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp raw honey, more to taste (or pure maple syrup)
TOPPING OPTIONS
fresh berries or peaches, nut butter, raw nuts or seeds, hemp hearts, banana slices, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips, unsweetened cranberries or cherries
