Maple oatmeal

The five-minute breakfast most of our customers tell us about. Maple syrup in the pot, not just on top, so it cooks into the oats.

Ingredients, for two

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup milk and 1 cup water
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons Skarda pure maple syrup, plus more for the top
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• To finish: sliced banana, toasted pecans, a spoon of maple crumble, a pat of butter

Method

1. Bring the milk, water and salt to a simmer. Stir in the oats and cinnamon.
2. Cook 5 minutes over medium-low, stirring now and then, until creamy. Stir in the maple syrup in the last minute.
3. Bowl it up, top it, and pour a little more syrup over the top.

Notes

• Overnight version: same amounts, no cooking. Mix in a jar, refrigerate, eat cold or warm it in the morning.
• Maple crumble on top gives you the crunch that brown sugar never did.
