Maple Walnut Oatmeal

One of my favorite breakfast dishes is this Oatmeal recipe. I originally used a recipe from Cooking for Two, but didn't like how sweet it was, so I adjusted it a bit into my own version. I know that many people don't like nuts, which is why the walnuts are completely crushed to add some Omega 3s, protein, and flavor.

Maple Walnut Oatmeal

(This is for one serving. You can increase each amount for the amount of people you are making this for):

1 cup water
pinch of salt

1/2 dried rolled oats (not instant)

1/4 cup walnuts

1 tbsp maple syrup

up to 1 tbsp brown sugar

Place walnuts inside a large ziploc bag and completely crush them into a powder form. You can do this with a rolling pin.

Bring water to a boil with the salt, then add oatmeal and reduce heat to medium. Cook for two minutes.

Stir in maple syrup, cook for 1 minute, then add walnut powder. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes or until the water is evaporated.

Place into a bowl, serve with milk and top with brown sugar.
