Oatmeal

- 2 cups milk (dairy or nondairy - unsweetened almond milk recommended)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed

Instructions
- Prepare the oatmeal: Combine old-fashioned oats, milk, ground flaxseed, 1 apple cut into small cubes, honey, and ground cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
- Cook the oatmeal: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes until the oatmeal thickens and the apples are just barely tender.
- Sauté the apple topping: Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced apple and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples begin to soften around the edges.
- Add honey and cinnamon: Lower heat to low, add honey and ground cinnamon to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 3 minutes until apples are tender and honey bubbles.
- Assemble and serve: Divide the cooked oatmeal between two bowls, top with sautéed apples, plain Greek yogurt, and walnuts. Serve warm.
