Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to absorb the rum flavor.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
Stir in the vanilla extract and the rum-soaked raisins, along with any remaining rum liquid left in the soaking bowl.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal rest for a minute or two to thicken slightly.
Serve warm in bowls. If desired, top with a small pat of butter for added richness and sprinkle with chopped nuts for texture and flavor.
