YOGURT WITH MIXED SEEDS, TOASTED OATMEAL AND GINGER SYRUP



Yogurt With Mixed Seeds, Toasted Oatmeal and Ginger Syrup image

The inspiration for this breakfast yogurt comes mainly from an amazing breakfast yogurt and fruit bowl I had at the Elizabeth Street Café, a Vietnamese-French bakery and restaurant in Austin, Tex. Its baker, Jennifer Tucker, is exceptionally talented: Anyone who can pull off croissants that incorporate whole-wheat flour and seeds while remaining flaky, light, and small has my immediate attention. The cafe's morning yogurt bowl includes an unusual granola made with steel-cut oats, macadamia nuts, and ginger; fresh fruit; and a delicious ginger-palm sugar syrup. Jennifer was kind enough to share her recipes for the granola and the ginger palm sugar syrup (I'm using only the syrup recipe here, but I'm sure you'll see the granola in a future Recipes for Health). The seed mix you should make in quantity and keep on hand for adding not just to your morning yogurt, but to salads, baked goods, just about anything. I soak the seeds, then dry them for a day in a very low oven. The ginger syrup keeps well and it too is great to have on hand.

Time 6h

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (20 grams)
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (20 grams)
1 teaspoon poppy seeds (5 grams)
1 tablespoon toasted or black sesame seeds (12 grams)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (5 grams)
1 cup water (240 g)
180 grams palm sugar (about 1 cup)
90 grams fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon toasted pinhead oatmeal (see note)
2/3 cup plain low-fat or whole-milk yogurt
Fruit in season, such as berries, sliced peaches, pears, banana

Steps:

  • To make seed mix, combine seeds in a bowl. Soaking is optional but I prefer the texture of the seeds when they've been soaked, and soaking makes their nutrients more readily available. Cover with water and refrigerate for 7 hours or overnight. Drain. (The mixture will be gelatinous because of the chia seeds.) Line a small baking sheet with parchment and spread the mixture in an even layer on the sheet. Place in an oven set at the lowest setting; if your oven has a pilot light you needn't turn it on at all. Leave for 6 hours or overnight, until the mixture is completely dry. Break it up (some seeds will stick together because of the chia) and keep in a jar in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • To make the syrup, combine ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until slightly thickened and infused with the ginger flavor. Strain and reserve ginger (you can use it in granola or other desserts).
  • Combine yogurt and 1 tablespoon of the toasted oatmeal. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons ginger syrup, 1 tablespoon of the seed mix, and the fruit of your choice.

GREEK YOGURT OATMEAL



Greek Yogurt Oatmeal image

Oatmeal is a great way to start a day! I have it almost every morning, so to not get bored I add different toppings and vary the ingredients I put in, always healthy and always delicious! Greek yogurt goes fantastically with hot oats and makes it creamier, adds protein, and most important of all makes a standard bowl of oatmeal phenomenal! Sprinkle with some more cinnamon, if you desire.

SAVORY OATMEAL WITH GREENS AND YOGURT



Savory Oatmeal With Greens and Yogurt image

Take a break from sweetened oatmeal for breakfast and try this savory version, simple enough to prepare even on a busy weekday morning (though for that matter, it's good any time of day). With garlicky spinach and yogurt, it is a well-rounded healthy meal. Make the toasted oat and nut topping in advance and you'll be a step ahead; the quantities below make more than you'll need, so make it once and keep it on hand for up to two weeks. Regular oats take only about 30 minutes to cook and have more flavor than quick-cooking oats.

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup oats
1/4 cup slivered raw almonds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup hemp seeds or sunflower seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup oats
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic, finely diced
Pinch of crushed red pepper
5 ounces spinach leaves, about one large handful washed and drained
Plain full-fat yogurt, preferably Bulgarian yogurt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the toasted oat and nut topping: Mix the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds together in a small bowl with salt and olive oil. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or just until fragrant and lightly toasted.
  • Make the oatmeal: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil, then add the oats and a pinch of salt. Reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let steam for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the greens: Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic and crushed red pepper. (The garlic should just sizzle but not brown.) Then add the greens, salt to taste, and briefly wilt for around one minute (but no longer than two); turn with tongs to evenly cook.
  • Place the oatmeal in the bowl, surround with greens and pan juices, and garnish with about 1 tablespoon toasted oat and nut topping. Finish with a dollop of yogurt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle with a little salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
