Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the raisins, brown sugar or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let cook for another 1-2 minutes to evenly distribute the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oats sit for 1 minute to thicken.
Divide the oats into two serving bowls. If desired, top with chopped nuts, fresh berries, or additional cinnamon for extra flavor and texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your cozy bowl of Cinnamon and Raisin Oats!
