Cinnamon and Spice Oatmeal for One
Sep. 29th, 2007 07:21 pmI finally found my favorite recipe for oatmeal for one:
1/3 cup oats
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
sprinkle of nutmeg
water
Put small pan of water on stove. Measure out dry ingredients into bowl and mix. By then the water should be boiling or almost boiling. Pour just enough into the bowl to moisten everything and stir. Pour a thin layer of milk on top and stir. Now it is delicious and just the right temperature.
The oats do not have to be quick-cooking or instant or whatever. I don't know if steel-cut oats work or not. If I leave out the salt, it doesn't taste right. The sugar can be any kind of sugar. I'll try gradually reducing the salt and sugar until I find the minimum that I still like, but I'm afraid it won't be by much. The nutmeg is optional, and you may use ginger or cloves or some combination instead.
Enjoy!
