Instead of using 2 cups of milk, you can use 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of water to cook the oats.
Both dairy and non-dairy milk are fine to be used.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds to make the oats creamier and more nutritious.
You can also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to flavor this oatmeal.
The amount of sugar can also be adjusted to suit your sweetness preference.
Other sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, brown sugar, coconut sugar, or normal white sugar can be used too.
