Stop Buying That Shit!

It takes less than 10 minutes to make a version of apple cinnamon oatmeal from scratch.  It tastes better, it's better for you and it sure as shit looks a lot better than that sad little brown packet of instant oats and dried up apple bits.  I mean really...does this guy look like he ever had an INSTANT version of anything in mind when he started his empire?  I highly doubt it.  His hair alone obviously takes hours.

OK, let's do this:

Stupid Easy Cinnamon Apple Pecan Oatmeal
makes 2 servings
total time 10 min

3/4 c milk (rice, soy, cow, almond whatever)
1/4 c quick cook STEEL CUT oats - not the rolled kind you're used to.
-----------------------
1/2 T butter (or coconut oil for the vegans)

1 apple cut into 1/2" cubes

1/2 t cinnamon

1 t maple syrup 

1 handful chopped pecans

Bring the milk to a simmer and add oats.  Cover and stir occasionally 8-9 min.

While the oats are cooking, heat the butter in a small skillet.  Add apples, cinnamon and syrup.  Let the mixture simmer until the oats are done.  Add the pecans just before serving so they don't burn.   You are amazing.
