Creamy Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal

I haven't made any oatmeal for K for a while. He used to have it every day for 4 months or so when he first started eating. But now I make it for him way less. He just gets sick of the same foods so easily. He won't eat the same thing more than 3 days a week. And don't even try giving him the same thing more than once a day! Unless it's cookies and fruit. Those, he can eat 24/7 if we let him.

The kid loves raisins and we're running low on frozen blueberries (which he loves to put in his yogurt and oatmeal), so I thought I'd just make him cinnamon raisin oatmeal. Why not? They make cookies out of this stuff! ;)


Creamy Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal
(serves 3 adults)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 small pinch salt
• 1 cup raisins
• 1-2 Tbsps brown sugar
• 2 tsps ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Bring milk to a gentle boil in a pot over medium heat. Add in remaining ingredients. Turn heat to medium low and cook until oatmeal is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally with a spatula to prevent oatmeal from sticking to the pot.
2. Serve with fresh fruit.
