Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats - or if you really want to be authentic, Steel-cut Oats
sliced almonds.
Pecans or Walnuts, chopped
Flax seed
Raisins and/or dried, sweetened cranberries. (apple also works!)
Brown sugar, molasses or real maple syrup
Cinnamon
(Salt)
Whipped cream (from the can is the most fun)

Directions:
Directions:
Stovetop: Cook a goodly batch of the oats according to package. Make it as thick, chewy or gloopy as you prefer. Add as much of all of the above as suits your hobbity tastes. Stir well, top generously with whipped cream and a dash more of cinnamon. You will never think of oatmeal the same way again!

Microwave: Dump a scoop of oats into your bowl - at least a cup. Shake in a little salt. Add as many of the above listed goodies to your oats as you prefer. Fill the bowl with water just a little over the oats. Microwave about a minute-and-a-half. Stir well. Top generously with whipped cream and a decorative dash of the cinnamon.

Lady Hobbit's Version: Also add semi-sweet chocolate chips to hot oats and stir until melted.

For younger hobbitlings, be sure the grown hobbit controls the amount of salt they shake into their bowl, and help them with the cooking, of course.

Dwarf's Version:
Just top it with lots of brown sugar and a pat of butter!

Simp’s Hobbit Porridge
Start the oats the night before in a crockette (a small crockpot) unless you’re cooking for a bunch'o'hobbits, then a regular crockpot will do. Add a tad more water than normal for the overnight cooking. Add raisins the night before for natural sweetness.
