In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, salt, and cinnamon powder. Stir everything together.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the oatmeal is creamy and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup until well combined. Let the oatmeal rest for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls. Top with fresh berries, chopped walnuts, and any other desired toppings. Serve immediately.

Gummy oatmeal is usually a result of overcooking or over-stirring. Cook on a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil, and stir only occasionally to prevent sticking. Removing it from the heat while it's still slightly looser than you'd like is also a good trick, as it will thicken as it cools.
