This recipe is for those of us who should eat oatmeal everyday but can't quite bring ourselves to suffer for what is right for the health of our bodies. Really, it is an oatmeal that is yumlicious and good for you. As one friend said it's like eating a dessert rather than mushy oatmeal. I like Bob's organic whole oatmeal for this recipe the best but any old fashioned oat will do....

1 T. flax seed
2.5 T. brown sugar
