Dairy and sugar-free oatmeal
(By sugar I mean refined sugar from sugarcanes and/or sugar beets. The photo above is from awhile ago, so it’s with milk but before sugar was added.)
We like to make our oatmeal (aka porridge) with half milk, half water, but given my new “diet,” I can’t do that anymore. It’s just as welll, because I can walk off and do something else instead of standing around to make sure the milk doesn’t burn.
For two large servings, we follow the recipe on the package: 3 cups of water and 1 1/3 cups of oats, combined into a pot then cooked. Follow whatever portions you like. I find half of that amount is a bit too much for me, but the single serving can be too little. Anyway.
whole rolled oats (not quick oats)
water
topping: sliced banana, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla flavouring to taste. If the proportions are right, you won’t need milk or alternative milk.
or: sliced banana or apple, raisins (I forgot them again! shucks), and thick, plain (goat’s milk) yogurt, with honey if desired.
