Ingredients
1 cup dry oatmeal
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins
cranberries or apricots)
1/4 cup walnuts
lightly chopped (or pecans)
Steps
Wash hands with soap and water.
Put all ingredients in a cooking pot and cover. Let sit overnight in refrigerator.
In the morning, put on a stove burner and cook on medium heat until simmering, then turn on low and heat for 10 to 15 minutes more or less depending on type of oats -- quick (5 minutes), regular, or steel cut.
Serve warm with a little milk (or milk alternative), a drizzle of maple syrup, and a side of fresh fruit, if desired.
