Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

I found this recipe on Pinterest a month or so ago and I've made it at least 3 times.  It is amazing.  I think it could be dessert, but it's breakfast.  It really doesn't have very much sugar either which is awesome.  So, even though I have it on Pinterest, I feel that I need to put it down on this blog, in case the web address ever goes away.  I would be very sorry to lose this recipe.  It's from Fitness magazine and the link is here

Raspberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup water, unsweetened almond milk, or skim milk
1/2 mashed medium banana
Splash of vanilla
2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened for 5 second in microwave)
1 teaspoon powdered sugar (more or less to taste)
Squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
1 tablespoon raspberry preserves
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine oats, water or milk, banana, and vanilla and pour into nonstick sprayed baking dish.
2. Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Put into plastic bag, snip off one end and squeeze into two horizontal lines on top of oatmeal. Put raspberry preserves in another plastic bag and squeeze two horizontal lines in between the cream cheese.
