Apple Cinnamon Walnut Raisin Oatmeal

Lately I've been eating about 60% raw foods, but this time of year we tend to crave something hot & substantial. Try this on a cold winter morning...


Ingredients:

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup walnuts
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 granny smith apple (cut into small chunks)
1 3/4 cups water
cinnamon


Stovetop:

Heat water until boiling
add oats, walnuts, raisins, apple
turn to low-medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently
add cinnamon to taste

*The raisins & granny smith apple add plenty of sweetness, eliminating the need for brown sugar. A little rice milk can be added if you prefer. Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe! Sounds delicious! Also enjoy oatmeal with almonds, cashews, golden raisins and a dash of cardamom.

Never could figure this out but the apples seem to make it work now. Mine always came out bland. Tx
