Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
• 1/2 cup skim milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
• 1/2 cup water
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 medium banana, sliced into thin pieces
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp wheat germ
• 1 tsp stevia
• 1 tbsp mascarpone cheese
• 1/4 cup raspberries, separated
• 10g granola

Directions

1. In a medium size pan, heat the oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana.
2. Continue to stir, almost whipping, until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about another 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the vanilla, wheat germ, 1/2 of the raspberries, and stevia, and stir until incorporated. Immediately before you pour the oatmeal into the bowl, stir in the mascarpone cheese. I like to just stir it a little, leaving swirls of mascarpone.
4. Pour into a serving bowl and top with the rest of the raspberries and granola.
