Cherry Vanilla Oatmeal

From foodnetwork.com Copyright Ellie Krieger, All rights reserved I like to use the old fashioned oats that take 30 minutes to cook. I usually make a lot and then separate it into servings and grab them for breakfasts throughout the week.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 cups water
• 1  cup old fashioned oats or 1  cup quick-cooking oats
• 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup dried cherries
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2  tablespoons  cherry jam (to taste)
• 1⁄4 cup 1% low-fat milk, plus more to taste

Directions

1. Put water, oats, salt and cherries into a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes for old fashioned oats, or 1 minute for quick cooking oats.
2. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and cherry jam.
3. Put into serving bowls and pour 2 tablespoons of milk over each bowl.
