1. In a saucepan large enough to hold all the ingredients PLUS room for boiling, place the oats and half the water. Place the lid on and place in the refrigerator overnight.
2. In the morning, remove the pan, add the rest of the water and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit a few minutes till you’re ready to eat.

Notes:

1. If your saucepan lid sticks up too high (with the knob on top) for your refrigerator shelf, flip the lid upside down. Use plastic wrap if this doesn’t work.;You could also try soaking the oats in milk in place of water.
2. The amounts above are what I use, but the basic ratio is 1 part oats to 2 parts liquid.
