Breakfast Oatmeal

Nothing beats a hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning. My grandpa always used to quip, “Feed a horse a bucket of oats and he’ll plow all day.” Oats are a great way to keep you satisfied all morning, regulate blood sugar levels, and are high in protein.

Below are several options for cooking on a stovetop or microwave, along with some topping suggestions.

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup One Degree Organics Quick Oats
Pinch of salt

Directions

Stovetop:
Bring water and salt to a boil in small saucepan. Stir in quick oats, reduce heat to medium, cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.

Microwave:
Pour water into a microwave-safe dish, add a pinch of salt and quick oats.

Place in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir the oatmeal once or twice during cooking time.

Remove oatmeal from microwave and stir before serving.

Notes

Try these toppings:

Banana:
High in potassium and a cereal topping favorite.

Coconut Palm Sugar:
High in nutrients and minerals with a low glycemic level and incredible flavor.

Flax Seeds:
Rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids. Grind before using.

Nuts:
All types are rich in cardio-healthy unsaturated fat.

Apricot:
Excellent source of vitamin A. Blend up canned apricots with a little almond flavoring.

Orange:
Citrus segments supply high amounts of vitamin C.

Pomegranate Seeds:
High in potassium and antioxidants.

Berries:
Packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Nothing says summer like a bowl full of berries.
