Banana-Walnut Oatmeal

I was playing around to see if I could get more phyto-estrogens into my banana bread oatmeal recipe. Here's what I came up with. And it's yummy.

A delicious, filling breakfast packed with fiber and extra protein.

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla soymilk
2 tsp ground flax seed (optional)
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup quick oats
2 bananas, peeled and mashed

Topping:
1/4 cup ground walnuts
4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Bring soymilk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. While it is heating, add flax seed, salt, cinnamon, and 3 Tbsp sugar.

When mixture comes to a boil, add the oats. Reduce heat to low and cook for at least one minute. Add mashed bananas, and allow to reheat.

Mix topping from ground walnuts, 4 tsp sugar and cinnamon. Pour oatmeal into bowls, and sprinkle walnut mixture on top.
