Creamy Goodness Oatmeal

Posted by: Meg Cooper

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.
