Healthy Oatmeal

I know, oatmeal isn't really a fancy recipe... but every morning in France I start my day with either a cup of coffee or tea plus a big bowl of oatmeal.  Here's how I make mine in France..

 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Avoine (oatmeal)
• Some Brown Sugar or Cassonade
• Teaspoon White sugar
• 3/4 cup Milk

Instructions

1. Begin by pouring about 1/2 cup of the oatmeal flakes into a bowl. Pour the milk in.
2. Microwave for 45 seconds.
3. Stir.
4. Microwave for another 50 seconds.
5. Stir, add a splash of milk, brown sugar and white sugar to taste.  You can also add nuts, fruits... whatever.  I'm a simple breakfast eater, so I go plain.
6. Eat hot!

It's simple, but it's really healthy and a great way to start your day... plus Avoine in France is SUPER cheap.
