Because it makes it taste better.
If you actually try it with and without salt, you'll see what I mean. Keep in mind that there should never be enough salt to make it actually taste salty, but a small amount simply makes it taste better and brings out all the other flavors you might add.
This phenomenon of a small amount of salt improving the flavor of even sweet things that shouldn't taste salty is well known in the cooking world. If you don't believe me, look at the sodium content of a McDonalds or Burger King milkshake. It's not a plot to make you more thirsty or something; they just put salt in to make it taste better (especially for the first few mouthfuls). These fast food places know that no one buys their food because it's healthy, so the only thing they can do is make it as delicious as possible, and salt is an integral part of that.
Whether or not it is unnecessary to add salt to oatmeal, you should be aware that sodium (which salt has about 2325 mg of per teaspoon) is an essential nutrient which means your body cannot produce it and you need it to survive. The WHO recommends that people who do not have a reason to limit their sodium should consume less than 70 mmol (1700 mg) of sodium and consuming an equivalent amount (70-80 mmol, or 2900-3300 mg) of potassium.
they do because when you put too much salt in the cookies, they taste salty at the end. try not to put too much salt in them
To enhance the flavor of oatmeal with salt, add a small pinch of salt while cooking the oatmeal. The salt will help bring out the natural flavors of the oats and other ingredients in the oatmeal, making it taste more balanced and delicious. Be careful not to add too much salt, as a little goes a long way in enhancing the flavor.
Oatmeal itself does not naturally contain salt, as it is made from oats. However, many recipes or instant oatmeal packets may include added salt for flavor. If you're making plain oatmeal, you can control the salt content by choosing whether to add it or not. Always check the packaging if you're using a pre-made product to see if salt has been added.
Sugar goes well in oatmeal, along with cinnamon.
