I make oatmeal a lot, always altering the ingredients to fit my cravings for that certain day. But I have to say.. This recipe is my favourite one so far. I usually add brown sugar or raw sugar for sweetness but I’ve been trying to reduce my refined sugar intake by using more natural sugar ingredients. This recipe taste like a dessert and is filled with sweetness, but all from natural sources so there’s nothing to worry about. Please try and let me know what you think!!

Stovetop directions:

Instant:
