The Perfect Fall Oatmeal

The Perfect Fall Oatmeal

Pardon the quality. Phone photos are just so much faster!

I know it's a little bit early to be thinking of fall, but I just love all the fall decorations and fall flavors; so I tend to jump the gun a little.  I'm already thinking about all the pumpkin goodness I can make!

I've been on and off trying to live gluten-free, but I failed a few times this week just not thinking or completely ran out of GF friendly food.  Today's recipe I believe is gluten-free, but I can't vouch all the ingredients were made in gf facilities.  It's a start!

The Perfect Fall Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1 c hot water (I took mine straight from the tea kettle after it boiled)

½ c Gluten Free Oatmeal (I used Bob's Red Mill)

¼ c Raisins and Dried Cranberries (I used about half each but you can use your preference)  

1 T cinnamon

dash of cloves

dash of nutmeg

1 T brown sugar

Put your oatmeal, raisins, and cranberries in a bowl (I recommend a non-plastic bowl due to the temperature of the water).  Boil the water and pour into the bowl immediately after boiling.  Stir and let sit until the oatmeal has absorbed most of the water.  Stir again and add the spices and brown sugar.  Mmm mmm mmm!  Would be perfect for a cool fall morning, or even in the summer heat of Florida with some air conditioning.  lol.  Enjoy!
