The Best Oatmeal Ever

Oatmeal lends itself to whatever you imagination can come up with. You can add sugar, honey or molasses to give it a distinctive flavor. Some people eat it like rice with salt an pepper and a dab of butter.

As you can see from the picture I took below I like to go the fresh or frozen fruit route. I slice Strawberries or Bananas straight into the hot Oatmeal, topped off with a little skim milk and I'm good for hours. If I'm in the mood for something out of season I'll take a handful of frozen Blueberries or Raspberries and let them thaw a bit before I cook the Oatmeal.

1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil, preferably canola
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
