Bread Pudding Oatmeal

• From: Kath Eats Real Food

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

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

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.
