Cravin’ Oatmeal

Oatmeal is not one of those foods I ever thought I would love, let alone crave. And I never thought it would be worthy of a post. But it has become a necessary part of my day. And this mix was is good, so good in fact that I wanted it for dinner last night. Inspired by Kath, here is my favorite way to enjoy my morning meal.

Cravin’ Oatmeal

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 banana
• 1 heaping Tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal
• 1 T walnuts, chopped
• 1 T golden raisins
• 1 T mini chocolate chips

Cook the oats in water for 5 minutes. While they are cooking, whip banana with handheld mixer. Stir in ground flaxseed. Then the cooked oats. Top with walnuts, raisins and chocolate chips.
