When I am not eating my Cottage Cheese Banana Breakfast Delite , I am eating this for breakfast. I NEVER miss breakfast, and when I know I may have to go a long time before lunch, this one is sure to hold me over. The secret is in the extract, and in not overcooking the oats. They remain a bit coarse, and not all mushy. However, if you prefer mushy, go ahead and add a few minutes to the cooking time. This is especially good with VERY ripe bananas. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups water |
1 dash salt |
1/8 teaspoon almond extract (approximate) |
1/2 cup old-fashioned quick-cooking oats |
1/2 ripe banana, diced |
1 packet artificial sweetener |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste) |
Directions:
1. Place water, salt, and almond extract in medium size pot.
2. Heat to boiling.
3. Add oats and banana.
4. Heat, stirring, ONLY until mixture comes back to a boil.
5. Turn off heat, cover and let sit for about 5 minutes.
6. Add sweetener and cinnamon; stir to combine.
7. Pour into bowl and ENJOY!
