Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 quarter cup Raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of low-fat milk over medium heat.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the pan and stir the mixture to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Stir in 1/4 cup of raisins and allow the oatmeal to simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and the oats are tender.
Once the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract for additional flavor.
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and stir until well mixed.
Serve immediately, dividing the oatmeal between two bowls. Optionally, you can garnish with a pinch more of cinnamon or a few extra raisins on top.
