Growing Oatmeal Bowl

This is Heather's favorite breakfast!!!!

It is ONLY 5 weight watcher points plus

(this picture is ONLY 1/2  of the oatmeal, Heather can't eat the whole thing like her big sis)LOL

Also Heather likes to add the apples once the oatmeal is in the bowl, where as I like the apples heated with the oats in the pot.  You can do either or.

1 cup Almond Breeze 40 calorie milk
1/2 cup 1 minute oats
1/2 small apple, cored and chopped
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 Splenda sweetener packets
Dash salt
Optional toppings: blueberries, additional chopped apple, dried cranberries (or anything dried really)

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a nonstick pot on the stove. Add 1 cup water and mix well. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.

Stirring often, cook until very thick and creamy, 4-5 minutes. If you like, top with blueberries and additional chopped apple. Eat!

MAKES 1 SERVING (or 2 half servings)
 

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

This is soooooo yummy and warm. Makes you feel so comfy and cozy!

1/2 cup of 1 minute oats

1 cup of water

1 cup milk of choice (I use Almond Breeze 40 calories)

1/4 tsp salt

1 ripe banana

1 T peanut butter (I use Better N' Peanut Butter from Trader Joe's)

1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

 1 or 2 Splenda

Cook the oats, salt, water and  milk on the stove top. Meanwhile, smash together the pb and  1/2 the banana. Then add in your vanilla and splenda. In a bowl add oatmeal to the pb/banana mix and stir.  Add remaining chopped banana in and stir.  You can smash the full banana with the pb, but I thought it would be better to have larger chunks of banana in the oatmeal.  =)


The weight watcher points plus for this oatmeal is 5 pp.
3 for the oats, 1 for the almond milk and 1 for the peanut butter.

Enjoy!!!!

Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl

Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl

This is my FAVORITE breakfast!!!

• 1/3 c canned pumpkin (or cooked pumpkin)
• 3/4 c nondairy milk (I use Blue Diamond Almond Breeze 40 Calories) 
• 1/2 cup of  1 minute oatmeal
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice (optional)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 Splendas
• optional: chocolate chips, pecans, reddi whip

Blend all ingredients together. The oatmeal will have a thin consistency at first, but if you leave it in the fridge (after blending) for even just 10 minutes, it starts to get really thick! I count it as 4 WW points plus.  Enjoy!!!
