Honey Nut Oatmeal

• 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup skim milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
• 1/2 cup water
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 medium banana, sliced into thin pieces
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp (6.5g) flaxseed meal
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
• 0.2 oz dry roasted peanuts

Directions

1. In a medium size pan, heat the oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana.
2. Continue to stir, almost whipping, until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about another 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the vanilla and flaxseed meal, and stir until incorporated. I also decided to stir in the honey at this point, rather than adding it at the end.
4. Pour into a serving bowl and top with peanut butter and peanuts.
