Description
While I am guilty of reaching for the microwave packets every now and then, my favorite oatmeal is made the old fashioned way. It is still quick and easy, but the texture of the oats is very different. Also, by making your meal from scratch, you are able to control the sodium and sugar and make unique flavor combinations that just do not come from a store bought box. This method can be changed for any flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- ½ cups Quick Cook Oats
- 1 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Walnuts
- 1 Tablespoon Raisins
- ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
- ½ Banana, Peeled And Sliced
Preparation
1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s just getting ready to boil. Add remaining ingredients, except bananas, and whisk continually. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir while cooking for 3-5 minutes or until oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
2. Spoon into a bowl and top with sliced bananas.
Note: If you like your oatmeal sweeter, just add additional sugar or some maple syrup.
