Old-Fashioned Oatmeal

Old-fashioned oatmeal is a great breakfast!     

I created this chart to adjust to the number of servings to make: 

Add water to a sauce pan and bring it to a boil.   Add rolled oats (use GF if gluten free).   Let simmer for 5 minutes, until thick and hearty.  

Scoop servings into a bowl.  Add a TBS of sweetener such as honey, and about 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp cinnamon.  I also love adding 1/2 cup frozen fruit such as strawberries, peaches or blueberries.  Pour any kind milk on top if desired to make it creamier.
