Gingersnap Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup skim milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
• 1/2 cup water
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 medium banana, sliced into thin pieces
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (Best. Vanilla. Ever.)
• 1 tbsp (6.5g) wheat germ
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp stevia
• gingersnap cookie, crumbled

Directions
In a medium size pan, heat the oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana. Continue to stir, almost whipping, until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about another 3-4 minutes. I really like adding the banana because it adds so much volume to the oats.

Add the vanilla, wheat germ,  cinnamon, ginger, and stevia, and stir until incorporated. Pour into a serving bowl and top with the crumbled gingersnap cookies.
