Strawberry Banana Oatmeal bowl

Oats is a very healthy and nutritious whole grain which has many heart healthy qualities. A warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning can be refreshing and can pull us through the cold winter times...Mmmnh... I call it "Heaven in a bowl.."

Level: Easy

Preparation time : 5 mins

Yeild : 2 People

Ingredients :

1 cup traditional oats
1 cup water
2 tbsp low fat (or non fat) half & half
2 tbsp Brown sugar or honey (Optional)
1 tbsp Amber Maple syrup (Optional)
2 tsp Nesquik Strawberry powder.
1/4 cup chopped Strawberries/Banana for garnish (Or any other Berries)



Method :

Boil water in a medium pan ,add oats and cook for 2 mins till fully cooked.Add the brown sugar,maple syrup and Nesquik strawberry powder.Mix in the half & half at the end,transfer it in a bowl and top it off with fresh strawberries or banana and Enjoy.. Yummy!!

Alterations :

If you happen to have Maple & Brown sugar flavored instant oats you can use it instead of adding everything separately..But i thought we can adjust our sugar intake in the first method.

Also you can try adding ready made pumpkin puree with ginger powder,clove powder ,nutmeg and cinnamon....I think i am gonna try that soon..
