"Oatmeal Cookie" Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups whole milk or ½ cup water and 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup of walnuts chopped
- ½ cup of currants raisins, or dried cranberries
- Unsalted butter
- Maple syrup
- Sea salt
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the oats and milk. Heat on a medium heat and bring to just below a boil, stirring occasionally.
- When it gets just short of boiling, turn it down to low and let it cook slowly, continuing to stir occasionally.
- As the oatmeal cooks, chop up your walnuts.
- When the oatmeal has absorbed all or almost all of the liquid, take it off the heat and distribute among four bowls.
- Top with the walnuts, currants, a little bit of butter (about ½ a teaspoon, or a thin slice from a stick of butter), a drizzle of maple syrup (or more, depending on how sweet you like your oatmeal), and a sprinkle of sea salt and cinnamon.
- Mix together and serve.
Notes
Kids Note: Instead of assembling each of the bowls, put the nuts and currants out on the table in separate bowls and invite everyone to make their bowl how they like it, then help them to top with the butter, syrup, salt, and cinnamon.
