Love oatmeal but getting board with the same thing? Here's some ideas of how to deliciously dress up your oatmeal!!
~ Vegan & Wheat-Free ~
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Steel cut oats
1 1/2 cups Water
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
1/4 cup nuts & oats granola (see my recipe on April 9 2018 blog post)
1 tbsp nut or seed butter (almond butter or sunflower butter etc)
1/4 cup blueberries
In medium sauce pan bring water and oats to a boil then simmer over low heat until cooked (about 20 minutes). * See Prep tip
In medium serving bowl add desired amount of cooked steel cut oats, and add chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, nut or seed butter and mix well. Sprinkle with granola and blueberries or other desired fruit or berry. Enjoy!!
Makes 1 serving
Prep & cooking time:
Prep time ~ 10 minutes
Cooking time ~ 20 minutes (or 10 minutes *if just warming up frozen pre-cooked oats)
Total time ~ 25 minutes (prep while oats are cooling to save time)
* I like to cook a large amount of steel cut oats and then freeze it in small portions. Then I can remove the amount I want from the freezer and warm it up on the stove with a bit of extra water. I usually cook 2 cup of raw oats (makes about 4-5 cups of cooked oats) and portion it out into muffin trays. Then I stick the muffin tray in the freezer for about 1-2 hours. Once frozen I remove the tray and hold it upside down under a tap running with warm water. The single portions of cooked oats should drop out easily. Then I place them in a air tight container and store them in the freezer. They should last in the freezer for about 2months.
Love the power of food:
Steel cut oats
Steel cut oats are the least modified version of the oat grain as a cereal and therefore hold the most nutritional value. Oats are a very good source of manganese, selenium and phosphorus. They also contain a good amount of iron, magnesium, vitamin B1 and soluble dietary fibre. Also, eating oats has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels and therefore can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
