McDonalds Awesome Oatmeal

McDonalds is now offering hot oatmeal for breakfast. It is surprisingly good and I decided to put my own recipe on the blog. Enjoy Gandy


Start with Steel cut oats, Quaker makes these in a small blue cylinder type package. Boil 3 1/2 cups water then add 1 cup steel cut oats. Reduce your heat to low and stir every 5 minutes until done. (About 25 minutes) While cooking chop up 1 large Apple (skins on) into small 1/2 inch pieces. Once oatmeal is cooked, add apples, 1/2 cup craisins, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup golden raisins, 1/4 cup chopped nuts, (Walnuts or pecans work best) and 2 TBLS brown sugar. (Save a little of each fruit/nuts for topping.)
I like to put a TBLS of milk or half and half on top to mix in.
This is a hearty flavorful oatmeal that will have you turned off to instand oatmeal forever.
