1 cup water |
1 banana, sliced |
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Combine oats and 1 cup water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 3 minutes.

3. Carb Star: Oatmeal 4.6 grams of Resistant Starch per 1/2 cup raw or toasted oats Oatmeal for breakfast might help you eat less all day. In a series of experiments, researchers in Italy replaced the flour in bread and pasta with oats. They found that even when these foods had identical calorie counts, oat eaters consumed fewer calories over the course of the day.
