A Better Oatmeal

A great wintertime breakfast always starts with A Better Oatmeal.  Here is my version that is reminiscent of the goodness of what Mom told you to eat as a child but I made it taste like a better oatmeal cookie!!  Hope you enjoy as much as we do.  Since I am diabetic, I use sugar free pancake syrup for the sweetener.   You could use brown sugar for that sweeter flavor...or eliminate the syrup if you do not want it sweet.

A Better Oatmeal

Breakfast

1 ts butter

1/2 ts cinnamon

1/4 c pecans; chopped

1/2 ts salt

3 tb pancake syrup; sugar free

2 c milk

1 c oatmeal; quick cooking

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat;  add cinnamon, pecans, salt and

pancake syrup.  Stir while "roasting" pecan pieces.  
Add milk and bring to a boil.

Add oatmeal and stir to combine.  Let rest, covered for two minutes while

oats absorb the milk.

I use sugar free pancake syrup for the sweetener.  Brown sugar can also be

substituted.
