1/4 cup walnut pieces
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/4 cup milk

Cook’s Note
Most people like their oatmeal with a pinch of salt. If you do, add it before microwaving. I don't, only because, while I'm healthy and don't have any sodium-related problems, I know that I get plenty of salt in my diet at work, so do without it at breakfast with that in mind.
