Oatmeal?- Yuck! I used to gag down oatmeal because it was a cheap hot breakfast. And then I started soaking to oats over night, and my opinion of oats changed...over night! Here's how you can make oats edible:The night before:
Place 1/2C uncooked old fashion oats, per person in pot. (Note: to ensure this is gluten free, use certified gluten free oats.)
Add a little less than 1C water per 1/2C oats.
Squeeze (or pour from store bought jar) a little (like 1/2tsp) lemon juice.
Give it a little stir. Put the lid on the pot.
In the morning:
Turn the burner on.
Cook, stirring frequently until cooked to your liking.
Then put the lid back on while you get out the bowls and toppings.
Topping ideas: brown sugar, honey, peanut butter, cinnamon, any dried fruit-crasins, raisens, apricot, or any fresh fruit, chopped nuts, ground flax seed, and a smidge of milk. Creamy, goodness.
