Comments

In addition to a morning meal, oatmeal is also a great for lunch or a snack.  Oats are so good for everyone, they blend beautifully with fruit and cinnamon and are easily sweetened with a little honey.   It takes "no time" to cook, keeps you nourished and feeling full for hours and is a welcomed comfort food.   Oats are highly nutritious, yet inexpensive food.  Stretch your food budget - buy some!

At the Taste Test, the Kid Kritics thought this oatmeal was, "So good: I had a party in my stomach ... I want it for breakfast ... I want it all day ... I want it every single day!"

Instructions

1. 1 3/4 cup water

   Pour in saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. 1 cup rolled oats

   Pour into boiling water. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

3. 1/2 tsp cinnamon

4. 1/2 tsp sea salt

5. 1 apple, diced or grated (organic if possible)

6. 2 Tbsp Raw Honey, Organic (by Wholesome Sweeteners)

   Stir into cooked oats. Serve warm with unsweetened milk of choice.

7. 2 Tbsp sliced almonds (optional)

8. Crispy Cinnamon Apple Chips (by Good Health Natural Foods)

   Top oatmeal with almonds and apple chips. It will add a nice crunch and some additional nutrients. This recipe was taste tested without the toppings but we're willing to bet that the Kid Kritics would like it even more with them!

Options

Almonds are optional for those with nut allergies. To save time, replace the apples with unsweetened organic applesauce. Add grated ginger to oats before cooking.  Stir in vanilla extract.  Use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon.  Top with fresh or frozen berries.  Steel cut oats are even better, but remember to increase cooking time to 20-30 minutes.  Replace water with unsweetened milk of choice.
