Ingredients
- 2½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 3½ cups water
- ½ cup seedless raisins
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup or 1½ tablespoons 100% maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons dry roasted, unsalted cashews, roughly chopped, divided

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the oats, milk, raisins, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
