Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry oats
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, or apricots)
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, lightly chopped (or pecans)

Measured for the finished dish, as published — so there are no per-ingredient numbers to show.

Method

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Put all ingredients in a cooking pot and cover.
  3. Let sit overnight in refrigerator.
  4. In the morning, put on a stove burner and cook on medium heat until simmering, then turn on low and heat for 10 to 15 minutes more or less depending on type of oats -- quick (5 minutes), regular, or steel cut.
  5. Serve warm with a little milk (or milk alternative), a drizzle of maple syrup, and a side of fresh fruit, if desired.
