Heart Healthy Oatmeal image

This is something that I've done for years in order to perk up my oatmeal without adding calories. It takes a few minutes, but is worth it. I came up with the idea when I was tiring of the taste of plain oatmeal.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 8m

Yield 1 serving, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1/2 cup plain oatmeal (of your choice, but follow the serving size on the package)
1 cup water (again, follow the serving size on the package)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet--I use cast iron--until it is medium hot to very hot.
  • Put all of the oatmeal that you will be cooking in the pan.
  • Stir constantly over medium high heat until oatmeal is just this side of dark brown. This gives it a nutlike flavor -- without the nuts and without the calories.
  • Cook as per box instructions.
  • You may add other cinnamon & sugar and/or raisins, but mind the calories.
