Oatmeal for a Healthy Breakfast?

Quick, simple healthy breakfast. Heart healthy oats, milk, fruit, cinnamon and honey.

Recipe:
½ cup of quick oats
½ cup of milk, dairy or nut
½ cup of fruit, fresh or frozen
½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
½ tablespoon of honey

Mix milk and oats in microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until the milk is absorbed. Be careful to overdo it. Then mix in the fruit, cinnamon, honey and additional milk to desired consistency.

Additional ingredients can be added if desired. Ground ginger, nuts, raisins, etc.

Personally I double  the amount of each for a more filling breakfast. And used 2% milk.
