You may have seen McDonald's new breakfast option--jazzed up oatmeal, loaded with apples, raisins, and golden raisins. I have to laugh at myself when I think of the influence this oatmeal marketing has had on my breakfast routine. We have TOTALLY ripped off McDonald's Oatmeal idea and we make it at home a lot--we rarely ate oatmeal before McDonald's put it on their menu. In fact, I have yet to try their version since we rarely eat breakfast away from home, but Kitchy Mama's version, which I like to call Loaded Oatmeal, is here to stay!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Water
1 1/2 cups Old-fashioned Oats
1 cup Skim Milk
1/8 tsp Salt
1 cup Apples, chopped
1/4 cup Raisins
1/4 cup Craisins
1/4 cup Chopped Pecans
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
Bring water and milk to a boil. Add oats and salt. cook uncovered for about five minutes or until liquid is absorbed and oats have softened. If you prefer, you can make this with all water instead of part milk, but my son resists drinking milk so I sneak it in wherever I can.
Stir in the brown sugar. If you like it even sweeter, consider trying Truvia or another Stevia sweetener. I like to combine this calorie free sweetener with the brown sugar.
We lay out the toppings so everyone can top their own. Choose from chopped apple, pecans, raisins, Craisins and my son's favorite mini chocolate chips.
Makes 3 servings
