Orange Date Banana Oatmeal

"ZESTY! This is from MrBreakfast.com. Although very tart, this has a sweet depth to it with a nutty overtone. I use more nutmeg, and find the salt, although optional, should be used. I will try subbing milk for water, that may also be good."

I made as directed but used quick oats & did it in the microwave, lovely & tangy, went great with yoghurt for brekky. Even my toddler DD liked this one, would add a bit more nutmeg next time though. A very nice,healthy & filling brekky, thanks!
