Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- Optional toppings: nut or seed butter, honey, hemp seeds, chia seeds
Instructions
- Heat 3 cups water in a medium pot over high heat.
- When it's almost about to boil, lower to medium low and add all ingredients except the milk and optional toppings.
- Cook, stirring often, until the oats are softened and the water is absorbed, about 6 minutes.
- Put the lid on, remove from heat, and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the milk, add optional toppings, and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Warm through to serve, adding more milk.
- If you need to cook gluten-free, simply choose certified gluten-free rolled oats.
- Lower the heat and add a little additional liquid if the oatmeal sticks to the pan at any point.
- Stir in hemp seeds, flax seeds, or chia seeds to add fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
- An older baby eating finger foods can eat this with their hands. A kiddo learning to use a spoon can be handed preloaded spoons so they can feed themselves with your help.
