Maple Trail Mix Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 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 (Best. Vanilla. Ever.)
• 1 tbsp (6.5 g) flaxseed meal
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp maple flavored agave nectar
• 30g Wild Ginger Harvest trail mix (from Whole Foods bulk area) 

Directions

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.

Continue to stir until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens.

Add the vanilla,  flaxseed meal, and cinnamon, and stir until incorporated. Pour into a serving bowl and top with agave nectar and trail mix.

This was really good, except the next time I might choose a different type of trail mix. The ginger pieces weirded me out a little. They were almost to sweet for me. Loved the chocolate chips and cashews though. 😉
