This was extremely easy and quite delicious. And check out that sodium and fat count!  I would suggest using a baking dish with high sides--the liquid really filled up my pan.

 

P.S.  I am one section short of having recipes completely posted at Recipe Riot.  As soon as I'm done with the basics, I will create the International and American Regional sections, for those of you that like to explore the world from your kitchen Cool

A Healthy Breakfast


Applesauce Oatmeal

Serving size 2 servings


Ingredients
2 cups water
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup golden raisins, or other unsweetened dried fruit
1/2 cup unsalted applesauce
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Bring water to a boil in small saucepan. Add raisins, applesauce and cinnamon just before water boils. When water boils, add oatmeal. Reduce heat to medium and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside for 3-5 minutes. Turns out a little soupier than normal oatmeal.

I don't know if you've ever looked at the sodium contents of bread, muffins, biscuits, and other bread items many folks eat for breakfast. My personal opinion is that most folks haven't really thought about it, but the fact is that many of these items can have substantial amounts of sodium. The average poptart like pastry has about 170-200mg of sodium. So let's say you eat 2 of them as you rush out the door....already you've consumed 400mg of sodium or more. Even the average slice of bread has 150-175mg of sodium. Compare that to the 8.2 mg of sodium in the recipe above. This is a very easy recipe, very quick, and turns out quite delicious. Even if you hated oatmeal, you might like this recipe.
