Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (I use organic)
  • 4 cups Milk
  • 1-1/2 cups Chopped peaches (You can really use whatever fruit you want, they can be fresh or frozen, strawberries go really well with this recipe)
  • 2 TBS Maple syrup (Or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (I use Baja Gold mineral salt)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2-3 TBS Heavy cream or half & half (optional, this recipe will be just as yummy if you don't have cream)

Method
 

  1. Bring milk and salt to a gentle simmer in a pot.
  2. Stir in oats and cinnamon.
  3. Reduce heat to low and cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in peaches and maple syrup.
  5. Turn off heat and add vanilla and cream.
  6. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
  7. I like to serve my oatmeal with a pat of butter on the top (so good!)

Notes

This recipe is flexible. If you don't want fruit, you don't have to add any. It'll make a creamy delicious oatmeal either way! :) Serves (4)
