Cider oatmeal is a sweet meal that includes dried fruits and walnuts in delicious spiced oats.
Ingredients
2½ cups apple cider
1 cup water
1½ cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)
⅓ cup raisins
⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup chopped apricots
½ cup dried cherries
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
Combine apple cider and water in saucepan over medium low heat and bring to a simmer.
Add fruits, nuts and spices. Mix together and bring back to simmering; this should take 1-2 minutes.
Add rolled oats and stir to incorporate. Cover and turn heat to low.
Cook for 8 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from heat and uncover to cool. Oatmeal should firm a bit more.
This recipe is really easy to reheat on a busy morning. It will be really firm coming out of the refrigerator. I like to warm it up in the microwave and then thin with a little milk and some extra walnuts on top.
Rice Cooker directions:
Pour all ingredients into rice cooker. Turn on. Stir. Rice cooker will switch off when ready. Mine takes about 15-18 minutes. Let cool.
