Summer Oatmeal

2 servings

This is an easy, warm weather version of oatmeal. Put it together the evening before you want to eat it.

1/2 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, preferably organic
1 small apple, preferably organic, cored and diced
1/2 skim milk, soy milk or rice milk
dried fruit, chopped nuts, ground flaxseed (optional)
maple syrup or honey to taste (optional)

Mix the oats, applesauce, apple and milk in a bowl. Chill overnight. Before serving, sprinkle with dried fruit, chopped nuts or ground flaxseed if you like. Taste before adding any sweetener. It may be sweet enough.
