Quick oatmeal with raisins

If you're looking for a nutritious and delicious breakfast option that's both quick and easy to prepare, this multi-grain oatmeal with raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar is perfect for you. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and a touch of sweetness, it's a wholesome way to start your day.

Ingredients:

1 oz raisins
27g
1 cup water
240g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1/2 cup multi-grain oatmeal
40g

Instructions:

1. Boil Water:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat.
2. Add Oatmeal:
- Once the water is boiling, stir in the 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal.
3. Cook 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.
4. Add Raisins:
- 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.
5. Flavor with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl.
- You can add a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- 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!
