Fruit and Nut Oatmeal
Servings
3Serving size
1 cup oatmeal with toppings
COOKING TIME
30 minutes
Ingredients
| 1 1/2 cup Oatmeal (dry quick oats or old fashioned oats) |
| 3 cup 2% milk (or unsweetened almond milk) |
| 1/8 tsp. Salt |
| 2 Tbsp Light brown sugar |
| 1/4 tsp. Ground cinnamon |
| 1 cup, chopped Walnuts, shelled (toasted or dry roasted) |
| 1 cup, sliced Strawberries (or other fruit of your choice) |
Instructions
Preheat a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the uncooked oatmeal and toast for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
When oatmeal is light brown in color and starts to give off a nut-like aroma, turn down the heat to medium-low and add the milk.
Add the salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook the oatmeal for about 15 minutes (**Note: if using quick oats, reduce cooking time to about 5 minutes), stirring frequently, until most of liquid has been absorbed and oats are soft.
If oatmeal is too thick, add water as needed to thin it out.
Top with toasted walnuts and serve 1 cup portions. Finish with fresh fruit and serve.
