Receta Power Packed Oatmeal for One
Let me start by saying....Cristine & Fallon are my kinda girls. :) They are both breakfast girls and both oatmeal girls! Whenever I want to know what to make for breakfast I can always go to their sites and find something yummy. While I am not a BIG breakfast person (I really, really am not big on eggs and prefer tofu!), I am big on cooked cereal and muffins, scones, rolls.... :)
In one of the Jan/Feb issue of Cooking Light magazine I came across this recipe for Banana, Wheat Germ, and Oats recipe. I am always thinking of ways to get the most nutrition in our food and lately Grumpy has been doing the same :) I love that there is wheat germ in the recipe - packing this full of Vitamin E. While I offered to make Grumpy cereal this morning, he opted out, so I had to adjust the recipe for one.
I know it looks like a lot of sugar but its just the one tablespoon!
The heat from the oatmeal melted the sugar and made it look like a lot more than it was!
