Single-Serve Baked Oatmeal; Brown Bag Series #16

By: The Food Hunter

Nothing says good morning like a nice bowl of steamy oatmeal; but working outside the home prevents me from enjoying it as much as I'd like. So instead I make single-servings of my favorite breakfast to pack in my brown bag each day.

Oatmeal is recommended to maintain a healthy heart; its known to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Just another reason to eat it on a regular basis.
