Quick Oatmeal Banana Breakfast
One of my favorite meals is breakfast! If you like oatmeal, you will love this. It’s so easy to make, and packed with so much nutrition. This is the easy, microwave cooking method, but you can always prepare the oatmeal on the stovetop.
And preferably, you will want to use a large glass Pyrex bowl, one that is the 2 1/2 quart size. This will prevent the oatmeal from spilling over when cooking in the microwave.
First you will make the oatmeal. Put 1/2 cup of oats and 1 cup of water in a large Pyrex bowl. In the microwave, cook the oat mixture for 3 minutes, 15 seconds. When done, add about a half cup of frozen blueberries to the cooked oatmeal and stir gently. Next, add 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, about 4 walnut halves, and a small handful of pumpkin seeds. Finally, slice the banana and add this to the oatmeal mix. And you’re done! Enjoy!
Feel free to substitute the pumpkin seeds with sunflower seeds, or any other frozen fruit you may have, such as frozen cherries.
