Ingredients
1/2 c Old Fashion Oatmeal -- like Quaker's Dont use the quick or instant kind2 T Jay Robb Whey Vanilla Protein Powder1 T Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal - like Bob's Red Mill1/2 t Ground Cinnamon I love cinnamon, but you can add it to your tasteSweetener to taste - Like Splenda, Stevia, SF Maple Syrup1 c Water1/2 c Blueberries - or other fruit of your choice
Mix all dry ingredients together - oatmeal, protein powder, flaxseed meal & cinnamon.
Put mixed dry ingredients in a preferably deep bowl with at least a 2 1/2 c capacity. If you're using a dry sweetner, you can add it at this point or after the oatmeal is done.
Add water and stir.
Cover bowl with a paper towel and place in microwave.
Cook 4 minutes on 50%.
You may have to test the exact time in your microwave depending upon power, but it's very important that it be 50% power or you'll have a boil over mess.
You can also cook this on the stove top for about 5 minutes on medium heat. For multiple servings, you'll want to decrease the water by 1/4 c for each additional serving.
I've listed this with blueberries, but other berries, peaches, cooked apples, mangoes, papayas or other fruit can be used -- even a tablespoon or so of raisins or dates. Also, sugar-free maple syrup and other syrups give it a special flavor as do sugar-free preserves is you like your oatmeal sweet.
HINT: I make up the dry ingredients in advance in individual snack-size bags so I can just pour them in a bowl, cook and add fruit.

really good. I used wegmans whey protein, and decreased the cinnamon to make room for nutmeg/cardamon/cloves. I added a pinch of maple syrup for sweetness, but it really wasn't necessary. cooked on stove top 6 1/2 minues. tasty and the protein is great...w/ a glass of milk its a power bkfst! - 8/2/10
