This was my breakfast this morning. I haven't eaten oatmeal since I was a little kid, and back then it was the junky instant stuff from a tiny package. Today was the grown-up version of my favorite flavor from back then, raisin cinnamon. I didn't take any pictures because I wasn't thinking of posting this, but since it turned out so well, I decided to.
What you'll need:
1/2 cup rolled oats (no added sugar and no added flavor)
dash of salt
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup raisins
1 package of flaxseed from Carrington Farms' Organic Flax Paks Milled Flax Seeds
1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon (I used Penzeys' because it is the best cinnamon out there, in my opinion.)
Bring the soy milk and tiny bit of salt to a boil. Lower the heat and add oats. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and stir in flaxseed meal and raisins. Add the cinnamon and stir once more. Eat and enjoy!
Yum! I love oatmeal. I usually just eat mine with a swirl of maple syrup - I'll have to try this some time! Maybe I'll recommend it to Jeff, too - he's a big raisin fan.
ReplyDeleteThe flax seeds give it a nutty flavor, and the raisins make it sweet, and I love cinnamon, so I just piled it on. I'll have to try it with maple syrup sometime.
