My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer.
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups water
6 dried apricots
2/3 cup regular oatmeal (not quick cooking)
1/2 cup walnut pieces
2 tablespoons honey
Directions:
1. Combine water and apricots in a small sauce pan. Cover and heat on high to boiling, about 6 minutes.
2. Add oatmeal. Turn heat down to just a bit above the lowest setting. Insert a toothpick under the lid to prevent boilover. Cook for 10 minutes.
3. Spoon into two bowls. Add 1/4 cup walnuts and 1 Tbsp honey to each bowl. Stir and enjoy.
