Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal

Do you know what else a coffee pot is good for besides coffee? I have 3 coffee pots. A single serve one that I use for coffee, a 4 cup one that I use to heat water for oatmeal and hot chocolate, and a 12 cup coffee pot for making tea. Just thought you might like to know how I heat my water for this next recipe.

1/8 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup maple syrup

Heat your water first than pour it over the oatmeal and mix. Than add the brown sugar and maple syrup.
