In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats and water or milk. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer and stir occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the ground cinnamon to infuse the oatmeal with its warm, comforting aroma.
Drizzle the pure maple syrup into the oatmeal and stir until it's well incorporated. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup.
Divide the Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal into serving bowls.
Customize your oatmeal with toppings of your choice. Sliced bananas, chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans), and dried fruits (like raisins or cranberries) all make wonderful additions.
Serve your Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal hot and savor the delightful blend of creamy oats, fragrant cinnamon, and the natural sweetness of maple syrup.
