When I was being interviewed for the “Change One Small Habit, Change Your Life” article for More Magazine, the author/interviewer Brian Alexander shared this recipe with me. It’s very versatile and can be tailored to your (and/or your kids) taste. You can use agave or maple syrup in lieu of the honey; add more or less brown sugar or substitute coconut sugar; and/or add in raisins, slivered almonds, or other dried fruits. My kids can’t get enough cinnamon so we load up in that department!

Jennessa, I have started making this and my husband and son both LOVE it. It is so incredibly easy to make and I love that all it takes in the morning is a little heating in the micro. This recipe rocks, thank you so much!!
