Breakfast

OATMEAL BRULEE- this yummy breakfast was easy to make. It comes from the In No Time WW cookbook, but I modified the ingredients and made it a single serving.

For one:
2/3 C. fat-free milk
3 dried apricots, chopped into bite-size pieces
1/2 C. old-fashioned rolled oats
1 packet (or 1 tsp.) Splenda
pinch ground ginger
pinch cinnamon
pinch ground nutmeg
pinch salt
1 tsp. brown sugar

For 6 servings:
4 C. fat-free milk
18 dried apricots, chopped
3 C. old fashioned rolled oats
3-6 packets Splenda (depending on taste)
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
6 tsp. brown sugar

Preheat the broiler. Bring the milk to low simmer in pan over med heat. Stir in apricots, Splenda and oats into the hot milk. Cook for 2 minutes. Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cook for 3 more minutes. Spread into a ramekin or oven-safe dish. If you are making 6 servings, you can use an 8x8 baking dish or 6 ramekins. Sprinkle w/ brown sugar. Broil for 30 seconds or until sugar carmelizes.
