Point Count: 1 point creamy oatmeal
From sharky on Indiebride.com:
Ingredients
1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups fat-free skim milk or light soy milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins or other dried fruit
3 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the oats and milk. Cover and let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
Transfer the oat mixture to a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the salt and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vanilla, raisins, and sugar; simmer 5 more minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks and pour into a resealable container.
After it cools off, you can easily slice it into 9 equal portions (those will be 1 point each). Steel cut oats don't get soggy like rolled oats, so it's still really good after 2 weeks. This oatmeal is delicious hot or cold.
