Feel free to add extra fun toppings, the options are endless. This filling, balanced breakfast is a great way to start off your day.

Ingredients

1/2 C. Rolled oats (or oat bran), uncooked

1 C. Water

1 Small banana, mashed

1/2 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.
