Recipe: Homemade Brown Sugar Oatmeal

This is a great warm-me-up breakfast for weekdays or weekends. Very filling!

Homemade Brown Sugar Oatmeal

1 cup organic oatmeal

1 cup water

1 tblsp honey

1 tblsp brown sugar

1 tblsp milk, soymilk, or milk alternative

Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts

Measure out oatmeal into bowl. Heat water in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. While heating water, add honey and brown sugar to top of oatmeal. Add a sprinkling of chopped nuts if desired. When water is ready, pour over top of oatmeal. Mix well, let stand one minute. It will be soupy at first, then will thicken. After one minute, add milk, soymilk or milk alternative. Mix and enjoy! MAKES TWO SERVINGS.

Alternatively, you can add Grade A Maple Syrup in place of the honey to make Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal. Add raisins instead of nuts. Try dried fruits. The possibilities are endless for add-ins! Just make sure to use a 1:1 ratio on oatmeal to water. This recipe as written makes enough for two servings, so if you want to make a single serving, reduce everything by 1/2.
