Let me start by saying....Cristine & Fallon are my kinda girls. 🙂 They are both breakfast girls and both oatmeal girls! Whenever I want to know what to make for breakfast I can always go to their sites and find something yummy. While I am not a BIG breakfast person (I really, really am not big on eggs and prefer tofu!), I am big on cooked cereal and muffins, scones, rolls.... 🙂
In one of the Jan/Feb issue of Cooking Light magazine I came across this recipe for Banana, Wheat Germ, and Oats recipe. I am always thinking of ways to get the most nutrition in our food and lately Grumpy has been doing the same 🙂 I love that there is wheat germ in the recipe - packing this full of Vitamin E. While I offered to make Grumpy cereal this morning, he opted out, so I had to adjust the recipe for one.
I know it looks like a lot of sugar but it's just the one tablespoon!
The heat from the oatmeal melted the sugar and made it look like a lot more than it was!
Oatmeal for One (Power packed)

Cook the 1st four ingredients until thickened. Pour into bowl. Top first with butter, second with sugar and last with bananas. Enjoy!
