Notes
- Feel free to use steel cut oats if you prefer them over quick oats!
- You can increase/decrease the amount of oats to 1/2 cup or 1/4 cup depending on your appetite.
- You can eat the other half of the banana on the side, maybe while the oatmeal is in the microwave!
- Unfortunately, molasses has not yet been tested for FODMAPs (Dec. 2016) so it is best to avoid it during the elimination phase of the diet. Brown sugar however is safe.
