- In a medium saucepan, bring the water or low-fat milk to a boil.

For a baked version, preheat your oven to 350°F. While it heats up, mix your ingredients in a bowl and add any toppings you prefer. Once everything is combined, bake for 20 minutes and let it cool before serving to enhance the flavors.
