Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
• 1 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons dark rum
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to absorb the rum flavor.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender and the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and the rum-soaked raisins, along with any remaining rum liquid left in the soaking bowl.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal rest for a minute or two to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Serve warm in bowls. If desired, top with a small pat of butter for added richness and sprinkle with chopped nuts for texture and flavor.
