Apple Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal

Serves 6.

Written by
Apple Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal
Packets of instant oatmeal can help you keep your sanity during hectic mornings, but their sky-high sugar levels are unappetizing. Instead, spoon up this DIY version of a classic instant oatmeal flavour that lets you still enjoy a warm breakfast in a flash but without the nutritional baggage. The addition of walnuts and flax provide heart-healthy fats. [callout]

To prepare in microwave, top 1/2 cup (125 mL) oat mixture with 2/3 cup (160 mL) water and microwave on high for about 1 minute. [/callout]
