Apple, cinnamon, raisin oatmeal

Apple-cinnamon-raisin oatmeal

Serves 2-3

2 cups freshly made almond milk 

2 cups whole oats

3/4 cup raisins

2 TBSP cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup natural sugar, or a substitute, to taste

1 apple, peeled and grated

Heat the almond milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally--watch carefully!  Almond milk boils over very easily.  When the almond milk is hot, about 5 minute, throw in the oats, raisins and cinnamon and mix well.  Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until the oats are cooked perfectly.  If needed, turn the heat to low and let simmer after 10 minutes to finish cooking.

Turn the heat off if it's on and stir in the sugar and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add the grated apple and mix to combine everything.  Replace the lid and let sit 5 minutes.

Serve hot and with some fresh fruit :)  This is the perfect homemade oatmeal, not too sweet and full of goodies!  Oatmeals awesome in the mornings, it fills you up and keeps you going until lunchtime.  Great for kids too!
