Ingredients

1/2 C. Rolled oats (or oat bran), uncooked 1 C. Water 1 Small banana, mashed1/2 C. Cottage cheese, 2%1 tsp. Honey 1 tsp. Cinnamon, to taste

Directions

On the stove, heat oats and water. Add a dash of salt to taste, if desired. While oats are cooking, mash small banana and set aside. When oats start thickening (approx. 5 minutes. If using oat bran, less time is required), add mashed banana and stir in vigorously (I like to use a whisk). Keep stirring until oats are completely cooked to your preference. Remove from heat and add honey, cinnamon, and cottage cheese. Pour into a bowl and serve with extra cinnamon on top, if desired. I also like to serve with a splash of skim milk.

Other Topping Ideas:
Nuts
Dried Fruit
Granola (see my Honey Nut Granola Recipe)
Brown Sugar
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
Skim or Soy milk
Unsweetened Cocoa
Chocolate Chips
Fresh berries

I already make something really similar to this except I use 1/2 cup 1%milk to replace the water, no honey, I think the banana adds plenty of sweetener and a dash of nutmeg with the cinnamon. I don't always have cottage cheese but it adds a lot of protein when you have it. - 3/11/09
