Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat.
- Once the water is boiling, stir in the 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the oatmeal has absorbed most of the water and is tender.
- Stir in the 1 oz of raisins. Allow them to cook with the oatmeal for an additional 1-2 minutes. The raisins will plump up and add a sweet, chewy texture.
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of cinnamon over the oatmeal and stir well.
- Add 2 tsp of brown sugar, mixing until it is fully dissolved and evenly distributed.
- Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl.
- You can add a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your quick and easy multi-grain oatmeal!
Tips:
- For a creamier oatmeal, you can substitute half of the water with milk.
- Feel free to add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- To boost protein content, mix in a scoop of protein powder or add some nuts or seeds as toppings.
- If you prefer fresh fruit, you can replace the raisins with chopped apples, bananas, or berries.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
This quick and easy oatmeal is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients to kickstart your day. Customize it with your favorite toppings and enjoy a hearty, wholesome breakfast in no time!
