My Favorite Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 small apple, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. golden raisins
  • 1 tbsp. raisins
  • Blueberries, raspberries and honey for decoration
  • Supplies

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Small cooking pot
  • Bowl
  • Mixing spoon
  • Measuring cup and spoons
  • Serving plate

Directions

  1. In a small cooking pot, bring the oats, water and milk to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for approximately 5-8 minutes until the all of the liquid is absorbed and the oatmeal thickens.
  2. Add the vanilla extract, chopped apple and raisins to the mixture and stir well.
  3. Spoon the oatmeal onto the serving plate and decorate with a bear face. Use some runny honey to make the face of the bear shiny. Then use blueberries for the eyes and mouth and a raspberry for the nose.


*Time-saving tip: Use instant oatmeal if you are in a hurry. *Parents make the oatmeal and preschoolers can help decorate the bear’s face!
