Allow mixture to cook for 5 minutes or until desired consistency is reach, stirring on occasion to prevent mixture from sticking to bottom of the pan.

If you let the cooked oatmeal continue to sit it will continue to thicken. Feel free to adjust with additional liquid to adjust to desired consistency.
