Sugar cookies for breakfast

Mmmmmm... candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. Yes, in the season where these are the four main food groups, I decided to look for some nutritionally-sound twists. So, I'll start with a "holiday-inspired" oatmeal recipe because (1) I have oatmeal, (2) I like oatmeal, and (3) it's hard to screw up oatmeal (although I did the first time I tried to make instant oatmeal when I was 7 or 8 because I had never seen a fraction written as x/y and interpreted 2/3 as 2-3 cups... yes, I was quite the chef even then).

Sugar Cookie Oatmeal

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup milk of choice (I used almond milk)
• 2 Celestial Seasonings sugar cookie teabags (or perhaps a different tea?)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• sweetener of choice, as desired
