Superfood Oatmeal
A warm, healthy breakfast recipe topped with superfoods.
Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Oatmeal
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 cup Boiling water
- ½ cup Quick cooking oats
Superfood Toppings
- ¼ cup Frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup Tbsp chia pudding
- 1 tablespoon Hemp seeds
- ½ Banana or other fruit of choice sliced
Chia Seed Pudding
- 2 tablespoon Chia seeds
- ½ cup Dairy-free milk
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Start by making the chia seed pudding first, because it takes 10 minutes to sit and gel up.
- To do that, combine milk and chia seeds in a small bowl. Stir well. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it has a pudding-like thick consistency. Store in an airtight container. It will last about 5 days in the refrigerator.
- For the oatmeal, in a pot or large mixing bowl combine boiling water and quick-cooking oats. Add a pinch of sea salt and stir. Let sit for a minute or two. Tip: I boil my water in an electric kettle but you can also boil in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.
- Serve oatmeal in a bowl and top with chia pudding, berries, and hemp seeds. Pour maple syrup and cream or milk over the oatmeal and combine well.
