Oatmeal with Honey and Cinnamon

Just like buying a box but probably better than that. It actually depends on you. Would you like a lazy day or a day you are in control? The good thing of buying a box of cereal is that you can just open the box and it’s ready to serve. But, at what cost is that? You pay for the box, the marketing, and your health. Have you ever look at the ingredients when you pick a box on the grocery aisle? Some of you may and some may not even bother to read what is inside the box. I chose to be in control of my health and I love it! I am just loving it but not the McDonald way.

What you need for this easy recipe:

Oatmeal w/ Honey and Cinnamon

1 cup Steel cut oats

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp honey

Dried fruit

Milk (optional)

Water

I usually soaked the oats overnight to cook it quicker. This not only cooks faster but also gets rid of phytic acid that blocks absorption.

In the morning, it will be ready for my stove. Turn the stove on low medium and let it boil. As soon the boiling starts turn it off. This let the cooking continue but in a light way because steel cut oats cooks longer than rolled oats. Then after 10-15 minutes, you can turn on the stove again in low heat for a minute or two while preparing the table, to keep it warm and fully cooked.

Add the cinnamon, honey and dried fruit on your bowl of oat meal. Adding milk is an optional for me because I like it with or without milk as I like to be in control of what goes in my body.
