Estimated prep = 13.5 minutes
A note on Omega - 3 fatty acids.
Besides taste, I add the flaxseed oil and walnuts for healthy cholesterol maintenance, the anti-inflammatory properties, and it's other healthful benefits.
Omega-3 oils are not produced by your body and need to be taken in your diet if you want its benefits. O-3's have been reported to have a positive impact on asthma, heart disease, cancer prevention, brain function, and other conditions (probably related to it's ability to reduce blood triglycerides).
- Put the oats in a small sauce pan on high with the water.
- Turn you attention to making your morning coffee for a moment.
- As soon as you begin to see any simmer, turn your attention away from the coffee and turn the heat down to medium while stirring the pan with a wooden spoon.
- After a minute or two turn the heat down again to low or just above low and stir again.
- Stir occasionally. As the oats thicken up keep the stir on to keep anything from sticking to the pan.
- After about 12 minutes you can pour the oats into two bowls.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. If you'd like to warm the milk up, nuke the bowl in the microwave for 37 seconds.
- Stir up your bowl and enjoy!
