Creamy Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a classic breakfast that never goes out of style. Hot, healthy, filling, and nutritious. It has everything you could ask for to start your morning off right. I used to be addicted to those little packets of sugary instant oatmeal where you just add water. If that's all you've ever tried, please do yourself a favor and try this recipe! Instant just doesn't compare with using real old-fashioned rolled oats. You get a much more yummy, creamy texture that really sticks to your bones. And the combinations are endless! Sometimes I add dried cranberries instead of the raisins or I add cut up granny smith apples to give a sweet and tart contrast. Be creative and see which combination becomes a family favorite at your breakfast table!
