Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, and a pinch of salt, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the chopped dried figs, raisins, ground cinnamon, and honey (or maple syrup). Let it cook for another minute to warm the fruit.
