Apple, Banana, Oatmeal Treat for One

mausi's Note:

This is my guilt-free not-to-sweet treat; It is quick and easy in the microwave. I came up with this after falling in love with those new Quaker Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies in apple cinnamon flavor and after eating entirely too many I decided to come up with my own apple induced oatmeal. This makes for a thick oatmeal. Use more soymilk for a thinner oatmeal.

• Total Time: 14 mins
• Prep Time: 8 mins
• Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 cup vanilla-flavored soymilk (I use 8th continent light vanilla)
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Mix cubed apple with lemon juice and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, making sure apple is covered evenly.
2. Cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
3. Remove from microwave and add sliced banana.
4. Put aside.
5. In separate bowl combine oatmeal, soymilk, and the other 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
6. Mix well and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
7. Combine apple, banana mixture with oatmeal. Add chopped walnuts.
8. Enjoy.

Excellent!! I really loved the method of cooking the apple, lemon juice and cinnamon first. This is a fabulous oatmeal recipe. Treat indeed! This will be a repeat. Thank you!

Sooo yummy! This is a terrific breakfast- my only "problem" was that there was actually far too much soymilk, it wouldn't get thick, and I had to add more oats, hence this made a LOT of oatmeal. Luckily my mom was around to share it! One to make again, thanks mausi!
