Oatmeal full of chia seeds and big chunks of whole wheat bread.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1/3 cup 1%, skim, or soy milk
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 Tbs chia seeds
  • 1/2 banana
  • 1 pinch salt
  • vanilla, stirred in at the end
  • 1/2 slice whole wheat bread (about 1/3 cup bread cubes)
  • 2 Tbs whole milk
  • Toppings: granola or coconut

Directions

  • Start by combining the oats, milk, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Slice a banana into very thin pieces, leaving just a few bigger chunks. Walk away for a few minutes while the oatmeal heats.
  • Once the oatmeal begins to steam or bubble, add the banana and stir vigorously to whip the banana into the oats.
  • Add the chia seeds and salt.
  • The oats will take about 5 minutes on medium heat from start to finish to fully absorb the liquid.
  • Near the end of cooking, add cubes of whole wheat bread and a splash more of milk and vanilla.
  • Stir until liquid is absorbed.
