Sweet Morning Oatmeal

TeriF's Note:

I read through the oatmeal recipes here, not finding quite what I was looking for and came up with this one. I had mixed nut topping for sundaes that I used, but they may make it too sweet for some. Plain or salted would work fine.

I like how you can sneak the wheat germ in and not even taste it. I chose the option in step 5 of regular oatmeal. I also used half the maple syrup and double the nuts. This made a yummy breakfast, thanks!
