Simply Oatmeal

This is my son Gabe’s favorite Oatmeal every school day for breakfast! He is my growing boy–I swear he looks like he is growing an inch each day– and I feel good having his belly full with all that good fiber and protein to tackle the day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats not the quick-cooking ones
  • 1 Tbsp fine ground walnuts
  • 1 Tbsp raisins
  • 1/2 sliced banana
  • any sliced fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a quick boil
  2. Add the rolled oats and let it boil uncovered for 1 minute (it will "foam", so lower the heat a little bit or just make sure it doesn't boil over).
  3. Turn off the stove and cover for 3 minutes or until ready to serve.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and add raisins, walnuts, sliced banana and cinnamon and top with any fresh sliced fruit.
