In just 15 minutes you'll have a warm breakfast for a cold winter morning. If you have a penchant for pears or apricots, substitute them for the peaches or apple.

2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup regular rolled oats
1 cup coarsely chopped peeled peaches or chopped apple
1/4 raisins or snipped pitted whole dates
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 cup fat-free milk

My suggestion:

Honey, snipped dates, raisins, nuts and chopped apple on top.

In a medium saucepan bring the water and salt to boiling; stir in oats, peaches or apple, raisins or dates, and cinnamon. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from Heat. Cover; let stand for 2 minutes.
Stir in brown sugar.

Divide the hot oat mixture among 4 bowls. Pour 2 tablespoons of the milk over each serving. Serve immediately.
