Stovetop Cinnamon Oats
This one pot variation of overnight oats is a weekly staple in our house. You get a whole pot of oats that, once cooled, becomes a resistant-starch (check out my blog post about resistant-starch benefits!). Just scoop into a bowl in the morning and re-heat or eat cold with your favorite toppings. No more cleaning individual, overnight-oat jars & lids!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Add oats and water to a large stockpot over high heat.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon to coat (approximately 2 Tablespoons)
- Once the oats come to a boil and the outside border of the oats starts to puff up (approximately 10-15 minutes), turn off heat, stir to mix in the cinnamon, and allow to cool before storing in the fridge.
- You can enjoy warm right away, or wait until the next day when cool and reap all the resistant starch benefits!
