Ingredients 2 cups skim milk or milk of choice *Sugar's Note, I always use the 30 calories, No added Sugar Almond Milk 1 cup rolled oats *Sugar's Note, I like using Steel oats when possible 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup *Sugar's Note, I skip the syrup. They do have Sugar-Free maple syrup if you choose to use it. 2 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt *Sugar's note, I like the Sugar-Free Plane Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup *See my note above about the syrup 1 teaspoon skim milk or milk of choice Preparation 1. In a small saucepan, bring milk to a gentle boil. 2. Stir in oats, turn heat to low and cook until oats have absorbed liquid about 3 to 5 minutes. 3. Turn off heat and stir in cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup. Divide oatmeal into two bowls. 4. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, maple syrup, and milk. Drizzle over top of oatmeal. Serve immediately. Ingredient Variations and Substitutions You can use quick oats instead of rolled oats if desired. This recipe works well with any milk or milk substitute. Dairy milk will provide the most protein, while sweetened plant milks will add more sugar. Try adding other spices, like nutmeg or ginger, for variation. Honey will also work in place of maple syrup. *Sugar's Note, beware of the honey as it is sweet and we are trying to avoid sugar. Everyone is different so if you could handle honey enjoy. I will skip on Honey and use Stevia if I have to. Cooking and Serving Tips Be careful not to heat milk over too high of heat to prevent curdling or scorching. As soon as you add the oats, turn heat to low to prevent boiling over. *Sugar's Note, you could use the microwave to heat up milk if it is easier. Serve oatmeal with a piece of fruit for a rounded-out breakfast. *Sugar's Note, they do offer the pre-packaged instant Sugar-Free oatmeal packets in a box if you just want the easiest way to go. I think Apple cinnamon and Original flavors are what is available out there.
