This morning I used up the last bit of my beloved almond milk to make oatmeal. There wasn't enough milk left to put in almond milk in the usual ratio of 2 parts milk to 1 part oats, so I improvised and just used what I had on hand. I think the ratio was 1 to 1.5 parts milk to 1 part oats. The result was a delicious oatmeal, in which the oats were nicely cooked and somewhat moist and yet I could taste each oat separately. What a tasty textural variation on the standard breakfast oatmeal! I will definitely be making oats this way again!
To follow suit, you will need:
- rolled oats
- milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond)
- cinnamon (optional)
- Mix rolled oats and milk in a ratio of approximately 1-1.5 parts milk for each part oats.
- Microwave for 2 minutes, or until oats achieve desired level of doneness.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
- Enjoy!
