Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 cup milk 2% or whole or almond milk
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup or honey or sweetener
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a gentle simmer then add the oats.
- Stir well to combine and boil to a gentle simmer
- Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add the milk, cinnamon, raisins and salt and simmer for additional 3 minutes. The oats should absorb the liquid and become soft and creamy.
- Taste the oatmeal to check if it has reached your desired texture. If you prefer a softer consistency, continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes and add more milk or water if too thick. If you prefer a thicker consistency, cook for a shorter time.
- Once the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup or honey or sweetener or sugar to sweeten the oatmeal, adjusting the amount according to your taste preference.
- Transfer the cinnamon raisin oatmeal to serving bowls. Top each bowl with additional raisins, chopped nuts, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavour and texture
- Serve the oatmeal warm and enjoy it straight away.
