Toppings or extras:
Throw in some dried cranberries or raisins...you can do this in the beginning or on the top after the oats are all cooked.  Add some walnuts, pecans or sliced banana's if you want as well.  Brown sugar is not needed, as it is already sweet....so taste it first :)

Recipe is subject to the amount desired by individual.  I typically use a handfull of basil for one person, 1 TBSP garlic and 2+ Sun-dried tomatoes.

In a food processor, combine Basil, Garlic and Sun-dried tomatoes.  Pulse till well blended.  Slowly add EVOO while still blending...until desired consistency (a medium thickness paste)
