Superfood Saturday- Super Mom Oatmeal

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
