According to Health.com, oatmeal is much more filling than other breakfast foods, it's rich in soluble fiber, and you'll get heart-healthy benefits of eating whole grain. I love oatmeal, so I thought I'd share some healthy, yummy oatmeal recipes...
Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal
Minutes to Cook: 5
Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
1/2 cup dry instant oatmeal
3/4-1 cup water
1/4 cup canned pumpkin (Libby's)
4 pkts Splenda (I would probably use Truvia instead, as I detest Splenda)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Put dry oatmeal and water into a bowl (that has plenty of room for the oatmeal to expand with the water). Use more or less water depending on how thick you like your oatmeal (use less if you want it thicker, use more if you like it thinner). Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir in splenda, pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla and enjoy!
