BREAKFAST OATS & FRUIT



Breakfast Oats & Fruit image

This was originally on Vegweb but I have changed it so much mine is practically a separate recipe! It's a warming, hearty bowlful of healthy but delicious ingredients. Plus it's simple and quick to make once you've done it a couple times. Personally I like walnuts, pumpkin seeds and raisins on mine.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup water
1 ripe banana, frozen
3 tablespoons wheat germ or 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/3 cup frozen blueberries (optional) or 1/3 cup other frozen berries (optional)
raisins
nuts
seeds
flax seeds or wheat germ
coconut

Steps:

  • It is optional to soak the oats overnight in the water. I do soak them because it is easier for the body to access nutrients from soaked grain.
  • Either way, in the morning, slice the banana (it might be helpful to let it thaw 10 minute if it's too frozen to slice easily- or use a paring knife). Transfer the banana slices to your smallest saucepan.
  • If you soaked the oats, drain the water into the saucepan; if you didn't soak, just pour in the 1 cup water. Add the banana slices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cover the pot for about 2-3 minutes, or until the banana is "bubbly" and very juicy-looking. At this point you can add the blueberries to simmer for 1-3 minute.
  • In a cereal bowl, mix together the oats and bran, wheat germ or flax seeds. Sprinkle in whatever topping options you prefer.
  • Now dump the boiled banana/berry stuff on top of the oat mixture. If there is still a lot of liquid on them, use a slotted spoon to scoop the banana/berries into the oats. Just add enough of the liquid to moisten the oats- adjust the consistency to your taste. Mix it all together well. Sprinkle it with wheat germ or flaxseeds if you like, and enjoy.
