INGREDIENTS:-
- Oatmeal (quick oats, if you can get them)
- Dried Cranberries (like Craisins)
- Walnuts
SUGGESTED OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:-
- Honey, Sugar, or Maple Syrup
- Fresh Apples
DIRECTIONS:-
- Boil water in the kettle.
- Place the amount of oatmeal you will eat in your bowl.
- Add the required amount of boiling water to the bowl based on the oatmeal instructions (basically, just cover the oatmeal).
- Cover the top of the bowl with the lid or a plate, plastic bag, brochure or other make-shift “lid” to keep the heat in.
- Wait 5 minutes or until all water is absorbed and oatmeal is cooked.
- Add dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and any optional ingredients you want.
- Stir and enjoy!
VARIATIONS:-
- Try other dried fruit such as raisins, pineapple, mango, papaya instead of cranberries.
- Try other nuts such as almonds, macadamia, or pecans instead of walnuts.
- Try other fresh fruit such as bananas, pear, cherries, or plums instead of apples.
- If you add any dried fruit to the oatmeal before adding the water, they will re-hydrate somewhat and become softer.
- You can basically add anything to oatmeal – mix and match and be creative!
