Soak oats at least 12 hours. Its easiest for me to just put them in the water the night before while cooking supper. Forget about them. The next morning when nice and hungry, just pour them into a strainer or colander and drain off excess liquid. Then back into a bowl they go. Add cinnamon and stir it all up. Pour into bowls and top with equal portions of fruit. Substitute any fruit you have on hand. I just happened to have strawberries and blueberries and totally loved it. Add a lil stevia to sweeten, only if desired. It totally tastes like traditional oatmeal, and will definitely stick to your ribs!
