Oatmeal, 100 Days of Real Food

By barbsjustagirl

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup milk (any variety will do but we use whole milk at our house)
• 1/2 cup plain rolled oats (I get ours out of the bulk bins at Earth Fare)
• Big dash of cinnamon (We prefer fresh.)
• Drizzle of honey
• Small splash of pure vanilla extract
• As many raisins as your heart desires :) …also, good with nuts on top

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a small pot over high heat warm up the milk.
As soon as the milk starts to bubble drop in the oats, stir once, and turn the heat down to low.
Let the oats simmer for 2 – 3 minutes. You can stir it a couple times if you’d like.
Once the oats have soaked up most of the milk add the vanilla, honey, cinnamon, raisins, and mix everything together. Take off the heat and serve or store for later in a Thermos.
Tip: My daughters like their oatmeal a little “soupy” so I usually try to catch it before all of the milk has been absorbed by the oats. You could also add a little extra cold milk at the end, which will help cool it down for little ones as well.
