INGREDIENTS:
  • ⅓-1/2 dry oatmeal per person (this is a standard serving but you can always have more)
  • Sweeteners:
  • dates chopped
  • raw honey
  • maple syrup
  • fresh, frozen or dried fruit
  • Flavor enhancers:
  • cold-pressed coconut oil
  • nut butter
  • vanilla extract
  • carob powder
  • raw cacao powder
  • spices like cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg
  • Crunches:
  • chopped nuts or seeds
  • granola
  • puffed cereals
  • buckwheat grouts
  • cacao nibs
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Put your oats in a large pot with twice as much water as oats and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and stir around until it reaches your desired consistency. If you are using hardier oats like steel cut, then you will need to cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes or so, kind of like cooking rice, but the packaging should have customized directions. Spoon into mugs and decorate with all the toppings you want. I recommend first stirring in the flavor enhancers so they mix in well, then sprinkle everything else on top.
