This is how I do it.

Use the "Old Fashioned" type either Quaker, store brand or from the bulk food aisle. This recipe makes one large serving.

1. Boil one cup of water with 1/8 teaspoon of Mortons Lite salt.
2. Reduce heat to Medium low and add 3/4 cup of Oats, stir well.
3. Simmer until all water has been absorbed... about 3-5 minutes.
4. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of low fat margarine (Promise etc.) and 2 tablespoons real Maple Syrup.
5. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes
6. Serve with milk... I use Soy milk.

Sometimes I substitute 1 tablespoon honey or some raisins or 2 teaspoons of Molasses for the Maple Syrup.
