Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups rolled oats ((often called "old-fashioned oatmeal"))
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • milk for serving
  • sliced nuts (chia seeds, hemp seeds, nut butter (optional for serving))
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, peaches or mango
  • 1 cup raisins, dried cherries, chopped dried apples, or dried cranberries
  • 1 cup applesauce, mashed banana
  • 1 cup shredded apple

Instruction

  • Heat 4 cups water in a medium pot over high heat.
  • When almost about to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and add the oats, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  • Cook, stirring often, until the oats are softened and the water is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Stir in your fruit of choice. Cook for an additional 4-6 minutes or until the fruit is soft and the water is absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat. Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Serve warm with any additional toppings and milk.
