Banana Harvest Oatmeal

This weekend Bryan and I stayed in St. George one night. The next morning we found a new place for breakfast, called The Egg and I. It was kind of a diner-type eatery, and their special was the Banana Harvest Oatmeal. I had gone for a run earlier that morning and was feeling health-conscious, so I decided to try it. It was really hearty and filling; perfect for a snowy morning, like the one we were having. (Yes, it was snowing in St. George!) Anyway, it's not really a recipe, just oatmeal with toppings, but I thought I should write them down before I forget.

Oatmeal
2 T brown sugar
2 T golden raisins
1/2 banana, diced
2 T chopped walnuts
milk to taste

Stir together and enjoy!
