Banana Bread Oatmeal

Here’s another recipe from Engine 2.  It is originally an overnight oatmeal method but this time of year, I like a warm breakfast.  Banana bread is usually loaded with butter and sugar, but today it gets a healthy update in a simple, yet tasty oatmeal. Still delectably moist with a little bit of crunch, these oats are worthy of a bowl-licking. Makes 1 medium serving.
Ingredients:
·         1 cup boiling purified water
·         ½ cup rolled oats
·         1 banana
·         2 Tbs. chopped walnuts
·         ¼ tsp. cinnamon
·         Optional: 1 tsp. maple syrup
Method:
1.    In a bowl or travel jar, add rolled oats, cinnamon and 1 tsp. maple syrup and stir.  Leave the spoon in the jar to help conduct the heat from the boiling water so the glass won’t crack.
2.    Add 1 cup boiling water to the jar/bowl.
3.    Cover the jar/bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
4.    Chop banana and walnuts and stir into the jar/bowl and serve.
