Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Organic Oats rolled or old-fashioned
  • 3 Cups Water
  • 3 Cups Milk any
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1-2 Tbsp Raw Honey
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon or desired amount
  • 2-3 Farm Fresh Eggs optional, but for creaminess and protein
  • Toppings optional

Instructions
 

  • Put all the ingredients into a large pot and heat it to a low to medium boil.
  • Once it begins to boil, lower the heat and let it simmer until it is cooked to your desired consistency and texture. Approximately 8-10 minutes. (It is cooked well when the liquid is absorbed into the oatmeal and the oatmeal looks fluffy with a creamy texture.)
  • Turn off the heat and serve immediately into bowls.
  • Optional: Top oatmeal with each person's choice of toppings!

Notes

-Remember that soaking oats overnight beforehand is optional. And if you do soak them, you may need less liquid than the recipe states. Start with a little less and add as needed to reach your desired consistency. 
-Toppings are optional. This oatmeal tastes great how it is!
-You can use only milk or water as the liquid. Just make sure your ratio of liquid to oats is 2:1. (For example, 6 cups of liquid to 3 cups of oats.
Substitutes:
-scoops of protein powder or collagen can replace eggs
-any milk choice will work, but you may need to adjust to less liquid for thinner milks
-rolled oats or old-fashioned work best, but any will do
-you can substitute or adjust any of the sweeteners or combination of sweeteners in this recipe to your taste
