I remember a friend making this dessert drink one night when we were teenagers … I thought it was a very peculiar concoction and wasn’t so much interested in it until I took a sip. I was sold. On the spot. I think it’s a good dessert drink for kids. I usually crave it when it’s late at night and I want something filling and sweet.

Ready

• Quick oats
• Water
• Milk
• Maple syrup

Set

• Pot
• Wooden spoon

Go

1. 1 cup quick oats
2. Enough cold water to cover the oats
3. Bring to boil
4. Lower heat to medium flame
5. Cook for 2-3 mins; stirring often
6. Add maple syrup (to taste)
7. Add milk (amount depends on how liquidy you want the drink to be) and continue to heat for 1 min

What you should know

The dessert drink should have enough milk to be drinkable and not thick so that you have to eat it with a spoon.

I really like it. You just have to experiment a bit to get it right for you.
