Melt butter in saucepan. Pour in oats and let cook stirring regularly until oats are toasted. Add in liquid, brown sugar, cinnamon, and syrup and cook accordingly. The measurements will vary based on the type of oats you use (use instructions on them) and the amount of other ingredients will vary depending on how sweet you like them. Makes 3-4 nice size servings. I ate 1 bowl and then had 2 servings left to store in Mason jars. So good and much cheaper!
