Combine oat flakes and water (or milk) in a small saucepan.
Add the pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on the oats.
Stir in sugar or honey now, and the optional cinnamon if you're using it.
Pour into a bowl and enjoy your warm, comforting breakfast!
