Ingredients

  • 4 c water
  • 4- inch cinnamon stick
  • 2 c old fashioned oats
  • 2 c milk
  • Sugar to taste
  • Fresh fruit strawberries, blueberries, bananas
  • More milk to taste
  • crushed piloncillo, cane sugar cone optional

Instructions

  • In a pot, add the 4 cups of water and cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer at medium heat. Once it comes to a simmer, let it cook for 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the oats. Stir well to combine. After it comes back up to a simmer, pour in the milk and sugar, to taste. Bring it back to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes or until it becomes thick.
  • Serve with your favorite sliced fruit or plain. Pour in a little more milk and stir well to combine. Occasionally, I enjoy garnishing with crushed piloncillo sugar cane.

Notes

Tips- Cut the cooking time by using quick oats.
