Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal



Okay, this isn't super innovative, but we've really gotten in the habit of trying to eat a little healthier on the weekends. One of our current favorites is this homemade maple & brown sugar oatmeal.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1.5 cup old fashion oats

  • 2.5 cups boiling water

  • 1/4 cup lowfat milk

  • 1/4 c sugar free maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 c. chopped pecans


  • Instructions:
    1. Bring water and salt to a boil, then add oats.
    2. Cook per manufacturer's instructions.
    3. Remove from heat. Add butter, milk, sugar, and syrup and stir. Let sit 5 minutes to cool before serving. Top with pecans. Enjoy!

    This served both us us with a little left over. Yum!
