Super Mom Oatmeal
2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
½ cup chopped walnuts
2/3 cup non fat dry milk
1/3 cup oat bran
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon flaxseed
2 tablespoons chia seeds.
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup dried fruit (cherries, apricots, blueberries, cranberries,
your choice)
Spread oats and nuts in a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered
in a 350 F oven for 15 minutes until oats are lightly browned. Cool in pan.
Once cool, add fruit and the rest of the ingredients. Store mix in a jar or
canister with a tight fitting lid.
For one serving combine ¾ cup water and 1/3 cup of the
oatmeal mixture. Microwave on 50% power
for 8 minutes or until the cereal reaches the desired consistency. Cereal will thicken a bit as it cools. Let stand 4 minutes before eating. Stir in honey or additional brown sugar to
sweeten.
This will be my Boston Marathon race day breakfast. A little superfood to have a super race! The picture does not look great because I made this in my hotel room microwave this morning. It tasted great!
Superfoods: Oatmeal, Chia seeds, dried cherries
