2. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 30 minutes. Make sure you stir the oats occasionally so they don't stick to the pan.

3. When the oats start to thicken, at about 30 minutes, add in the milk and vanilla. I think the milk makes the oats creamier. Stir the oats, milk, and vanilla together and cook for a few more minutes.

4. To make bruleed oats: Put the oats in a bowl, sprinkle with brown sugar and turbinado sugar. With a creme brulee torch, fire the top of the oats until the sugar is crystalized. If you don't have a torch, you can do this under the oven broiler. Just watch them so they don't burn. It should only take a minute or two.

You can add additional toppings if you wish. I like cinnamon and raisins in mine. Enjoy!

*If you want you can let the oats cool and then portion them out into smaller containers. To reheat, I add a splash of milk and reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.*

*Note- If you prefer, you can use 4 cups of water and omit the milk. I just like the creaminess that the milk adds.*
