Honey-Cinnamon Oatmeal with Dried Fruit

Instructions:

1. Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
2. Add Oats: Once the water is boiling, stir in the rolled oats and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the oats to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Season: Stir in the cinnamon and salt (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal.
4. Sweeten: Add the brown sugar and honey to the oats, mixing well until fully dissolved and incorporated.
5. Add Dried Fruit: Stir in the dried fruit medley. Let the oatmeal cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the dried fruit to soften.
6. Serve: Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken slightly. Divide the oatmeal into 8 bowls and enjoy!
