Ingredients:

• 3 cups almond milk
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla powder*
• a pinch salt
• 1/2 cup steel cut oats

Directions:

Place the almond milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Season the almond milk with the brown sugar, vanilla powder and salt. Stir.

Add the oatmeal, stir, partially cover and bring to a low boil. Stir, lower temperature to low and continue to cook, partially covered for about 5-6 minutes more, or until the oatmeal begins to thicken, but is not fully cooked.
