COOKING TIME

These oats are a quick and easy way to enjoy your breakfast and allows you to customize your flavors to start your day off right.

To make ahead: place 1/2 cup of the dry oat mixture in 4 individual air-tight containers and store in the pantry.

Ingredients

2 cup rolled oats (divided)

2/3 cup (not packed) Raisins

2 Tbsp Light brown sugar

1 Tbsp. Ground cinnamon

4 cup 1% milk

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

In a food processor, pulse half of the oats until most of the oats are chopped to roughly half their original size.

Combine pulsed oats with remaining oats, brown sugar, raisins, and cinnamon. Mix well until evenly combined.

In 4 small bowls or 16-ounce mason jars, combine 1/2 cup oat mixture with 1 cup of milk or water.

Microwave each serving on HIGH for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent it from bubbling over.

Serve immediately.

Chef's Note: other mix-in ideas include chia seeds, ground flax seeds, dried fruit (raspberries, blueberries, chopped apricots, chopped dates, freeze-dried apples), nuts (pecans, walnuts, slivered almonds), sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, cocoa powder, dried peanut butter, turmeric, or ground ginger.
