Sugar Free Any Flavor Oatmeal

Submitted by Just Happy

"Low calorie, quick and quite satisfying."

 

• Ready In: 4mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 1 serving
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup oats, uncooked
• 2 drops flavoring, your choice of flavor
• Splenda granular
• 2 tablespoons wheat bran (optional)

directions

1. Place uncooked oats in a microwave-safe conatainer.
2. Add water as to desired consistency, but I recommend at least 1/4 cup for every 1/4 cup uncooked oats (1 part water to 1 part uncooked oats).
3. Microwave high 1 minute, stir, microwave again if needed.
4. Add Splenda to taste.
5. Stir in a drop or 2 flavor.
6. Stir in wheat bran for added fiber. I think it makes the oats more filling but too much of the wheat bran gives it a slight bitter taste.
7. Note: for flavorings, I suggest vanilla, maple or walnut. Or you can try combining them.

A lovely breakfast for a cool fall day, thanks to seeing FT's photos and review, it was delicious made without the sugar but with blueberries, 2% milk and vanilla. Thanks for a nice warming breakfast! I will make again often.

A lovely recipe with options for personal taste! I used cinnamon and vanilla as my flavourings, and I DID cheat, and added a LITTLE Demerara sugar too! However, I did use skimmed (fat-free) milk! I always make my porridge in the microwave and this was a great breakfast for a chilly Autumn morning. Made for PAC 2009 Autumn, THANKS Fiona! (BTW - my sister is called Fiona too! And she was born in Hong Kong........) FT:-)
