Flax Oatmeal - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup milk (I use skim)
1/2 banana, sliced
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
Splenda sugar substitute, for topping (I use two packets) (optional)

Preparation

Mix first 5 ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes
Stir oatmeal, and add flaxseed (it will thicken the oatmeal so don't worry if the mixture seems thin at first!)
Top with optional Splenda packets. I also top mine with more sliced banana & low carb vanilla yogurt. Raisins or nuts would be good, too!
