Nutty Breakfast Cereal

Okay, okay, if you tell me this is just decorated oatmeal you'd be right - but it is DELICIOUS decorated oatmeal. It's full of protein, fiber and Omega-3's, so it's not only wonderfully good for you, but it keeps you full. Perfect on mornings when you wake up to snow.

1 1/3 c. water
Scant 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 T. wheat germ
1 T. ground flax seed
1 to 2 T. agave nectar
2 T. almond butter
1 t. Sucanat
1/8 c. pecans, crushed

Bring water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add oats, stir, and cook for 2 minutes. Add wheat germ and flax seed and cook an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in agave nectar and almond butter.

Pour cereal into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with Sucanat and crushed pecans. Serve with almond or cococnut milk, if desired.

Note: When I make breakfast cereals, I usually only make 1 serving because the kids don't like it. They usually eat dry cereal with milk or bagels for breakfast. Any of my breakfast recipes can be doubled, tripled or more to feed a family.
