Rasin spice oatmeal
When you use the instant oatmeal you get such a large amount of sugars and chemicals you don’t realize your getting. I found a great alternative to the instant oatmeal raisin. my husband loves to have his raisin oatmeal every morning. to recreate a healthier version I do the following.
1/2 cup organic oatmeal
1/2 cup water
bring water to a boil and add oatmeal. turn off the heat add raisins and cover and allow to cook. all water will be absorbed when ready. the raisins will be soft and plump after sitting on the hot water. add fresh ground cinnamon, Vanilla and walnuts or your favorite chopped nuts. because he likes it sweet, you can add Honey but I only add about 1/2 tablespoon of honey or less. he loves his oatmeal made this way. you can add different things to your oatmeal, if you like apples and cinnamon you can bake apples with honey and cinnamon then add to the oatmeal after it has cooked.
serve with milk, or like I love mine. I like to Pour 4 oz of milk over my oatmeal and eat the milk will be warm. it is comforting and good for you.
I hope you enjoy this healthy alternative to instant oatmeal. sometimes we get to addicted to instant and fast and we think we have to sacrifice Healthy for Fast. this is not the case you can have both!!
