How to Prepare Delicious POWER Oatmeal

This is what I love to have for breakfast. It's super healthy and packed with protein, fiber, and carbs. It is very low in fat. This is a healthy choice for the whole family. It takes less than 10 minuets to prepare. And then, you'll want 2nds.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 cup of Oatmeal (dry)
• 1/2 Granny Smith Apple (peeled and cored)
• 1/3 cup of golden or regular raisins
• 1 cup of non-fat milk
• 1 small pot
• 1 bowl
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp of nutmeg
• 1 packet of Splenda or Equal
• 1/4 tsp of Vanilla extract

1. First, we will cut our Granny Smith apple in to small bite size cubes.

2. Next, measure the raisins and have them in close reach.

3. Add 1/2 a cup of dry oatmeal into a small pot.

4. Now, add 1 cup of milk to the pot.

5. Turn the stove on high.

6. As our pot is heating up, we will want to add all of our ingredients while stirring constantly. So, at this this time we will add our raisins, apple, nutmeg, cinnamon, 1 packet of Equal or Splenda, and vanilla extract.

7. Continue to stir for about 3-5 minuets; until we get a thick, pasty type of texture.

8. After about 3 minuets, turn off the fire.

9. Carefully, pour the oatmeal into a bowl and allow to cool for 3-5 minuets. You may add and stir in a few tablespoons of cold milk to help the cooling process.

10. Grab a spoon and Enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• If, at anytime, it seems to be cooking too fast for you, you can always lower the heat to medium.
• If you like your oatmeal thinner, you may add more milk or water if you choose.
• This is a great meal for anytime of day.
• If you would like it sweeter, try adding more raisins or fruit instead of sugar.
• Never leave an item that you are cooking unattended.
• Always use caution while your are in the kitchen and/or cooking.
