About a year ago, I started eating oatmeal for breakfast. And I haven’t stopped! Oatmeal tastes great and gives you sustained energy throughout the morning. I stick to the same basic recipe, but switch up the fruit to add variety. Here’s what was in my bowl this morning:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal
- 1 ripe banana, chopped
- 1 white peach, chopped
- ~10 frozen blackberries
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)
Directions:
- Put oatmeal, fruit and milk in a bowl.
- Microwave on high for 4 minutes, or until oatmeal is desired consistency.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and flaxseed meal (optional). Stir and enjoy!
Next month, I may start enjoying my Fall Morning Oatmeal recipe again…

My wife eats oatmeal almost every morning, but it doesn’t look anything like that. I’m going to show her this recipe. Derek
Great! I’d love to hear what she thinks.
