Author Notes
This is what shows up in my bowl when I turn on my breakfast autopilot, and what I look most forward to eating after being away on holiday and eating too many processed carbs and not enough roughage.

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
Old fashioned rolled oats (not instant)
-
1 cup
Milk (will be used 1/2 cup at a time)
-
1/2 cup
Water
-
1/4 cup
Raisins
-
2 tablespoons
Coarse ground flax seeds
-
2 tablespoons
Pecan pieces
-
1
Banana
-
Pinch
Salt (optional)
Directions
-
Put the oats, flax, raisins, and salt (if using) into a sauce pan and add the water and 1/2 cup of milk. Cook over medium-low until most of the liquid is dissolved.
-
While the oats cook, cut the banana into small slices. I just slice it into my bowl.
-
Pour the cooked oats over the banana slices, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of milk over the top, and sprinkle on the pecans. From here, I mix everything together and chow down with a mug of green tea.
