Fruit and Cream Oatmeal

Some people consider breakfast the most important meal of the day. I used to get packaged oatmeal with fruit flavors, but now I try to eat local and minimally processed food, so I just buy a box of any kind of plain, instant oatmeal (ok, so I mainly started buying it to try and lower my cholesterol with the soluble fiber). I buy instant because I don't really have time in the morning to spend 30 minutes making Irish oatmeal. Now, I know you can make a giant batch and then portion it out and reheat it, but I don't really trust how that will turn out. Also, I like to cook the fruit with the oatmeal so that the fruit juice permeates the entire bowl of oatmeal. This way you get fruit flavor in every bite. So without further ado, here is how I make my fruit and cream oatmeal.

Ingredients:
Oatmeal (I use some form of instant, generally. Right now I have Instant Irish and Trader Joe's instant steel cut, which takes a little bit longer to cook, at 8 min. When I use that, I just start the water boiling, add the oatmeal, and make my lunch while it cooks.)
Any kind of fruit (good choices include peaches, blueberries, strawberries)
Butter, half & half, some type of sweetener (I use honey or maple syrup, depending on the fruit), cinnamon, all to taste

Cook the oatmeal according to the directions on the package. I don't microwave, because I usually just end up with a mess, and as I mentioned above, I like to put the oatmeal and the fruit in the boiling water at the same time to get a consistent fruit flavor. When it's done, just spoon it into a bowl, and add the toppings to taste.
