Exploring Oatmeal

How to get the most out of your Oatmeal!
My morning steel!
Here are some of my favorite variations of Oatmeal!

Steel Cut Oatmeal-the healthiest kind!
Steel cut oats (1/4 cup)
Raisins (1 Tbsp)
Apple (1/2 medium diced)
Milk (1/4 cup)
Water (1/2 cup)
Brown sugar or Stevia (to taste)
Cinnamon (to taste)
Directions: Boil water and milk. Add oats and turn heat down so it's simmering. Stir every min or so for about 25 min or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and add apple, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. Let it cool and enjoy!

Instant-Oat Revolution Oatmeal
If your running short on time in the mornings this is a great healthy brand of oatmeal to try out.  They have a bunch of flavors ranging from strawberry creme to maple brown sugar. Obviously the directions for this is on the package. Cook time 1.5 min.

Rolled Oats
The recipe is the same as steel cut oats but the cook time is about half. This is a good hearty breakfast with lots of fiber. As a side note you can add any type of dried fruits or whole fruits to your oatmeal or even different sweeteners, this is just my favorite combination :)
