Red Currant Oatmeal Recipe

Ingredients

- 1 cup rolled oats - 2 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy) - 1/2 cup fresh red currants - 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional) - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of salt - Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, additional fresh fruit

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water or milk to a gentle boil. 2. Add the rolled oats and salt. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. 3. Stir in the vanilla extract and honey or maple syrup, if using. 4. Gently fold in the fresh red currants. 5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the red currants are warmed through. 6. Serve the oatmeal hot, topped with your favorite nuts, seeds, or additional fresh fruit if desired.
