Oatmeal (for those who don't like it)

Okay, so I am not an oatmeal person.  I do not like the texture or the flavor, so the idea of eating it regularly to help keep up my milk supply while nursing is not too appealing to me.  Prior to this recipe, I only ate oatmeal in the form of cookies (not too good for my waistline).  In my honest opinion - this oatmeal tastes like warm oatmeal raisin cookie dough, just slightly creamer.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup Instant Oatmeal
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• cinnamon to taste (I use about 1/8 of a teaspoon)
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• raisins (I tend to put in 2 or 3 handfuls)

Directions

1. Add almond milk, water, and oatmeal to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Reduce the heat to medium - low and stir in applesauce and cinnamon.  Let simmer for 5 minutes (or until the oatmeal is at a good consistency for you). 
3. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
4. Remove oatmeal from heat and add in raisins.
5. Enjoy!
