Oatmeal

I actually don’t even like oatmeal, but it’s a very easy “real food” meal that both of my daughters happen to LOVE. It's such a simple and quick breakfast recipe that you can pull together even on busy mornings. Plus, it doesn't include any artificial flavors or sweeteners like the ones you get in a box at the store. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit for a delicious, healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup milk any variety will do but we use whole milk at our house
  • 1/2 cup oats rolled (I get ours out of the bulk bins at Earth Fare)
  • 1 dash cinnamon
  • drizzle honey
  • vanilla extract pure
  • raisins (good with nuts on top, too)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small pot over high heat warm up the milk.
  2. As soon as the milk starts to bubble drop in the oats, stir once, and turn the heat down to low.
  3. Let the oats simmer for 2 – 3 minutes. You can stir it a couple times if you’d like.
  4. Once the oats have soaked up most of the milk add the vanilla, honey, cinnamon, raisins, and mix everything together. Take off the heat and serve or store for later in a Thermos. Tip: My daughters like their oatmeal a little “soupy” so I usually try to catch it before all of the milk has been absorbed by the oats. You could also add a little extra cold milk at the end, which will help cool it down for little ones as well.
