Quick Oats Quick
All the good stuff oatmeal has to offer without any of the extras. For those especially hectic mornings… like Monday, and Tuesday, and weekdays and usually Sunday too. So basically ALL mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce organic
- 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice
- 1 spoonful pure maple syrup
- 1-2 spoonfuls Ground flax seed (optional, for additional nutrients)
- 1-2 spoonfuls Hemp heart seeds (optional, for additional nutrients)
- Ground cinnamon (optional, topping)
- Fresh or frozen fruit (optional, topping)
Instructions
- Using a mason jar or any bowl (if you are not a hipster) pour in 1 cup of quick oats.
- If you desire elevated nutrients (aka you can sneak it past your 4 year old) stir in 1-2 spoonfuls of ground flax and/or hemp heart seeds.
- Add half a cup of milk of choice (Tip: Just use 1/2 cup measurer and your regular spoon, instead of a tablespoon, to do a general spoonful. You know, to save on dishes and general sanity).
- Add half a cup of applesauce.
- Add a spoonful of maple syrup.
- Stir to incorporate.
Notes
It is ready to eat as is or warmed up for a minute and topped with ground cinnamon. Keeps well in the fridge if you have the unforeseen energy to make the night before. Makes two smaller servings or one giant serving. We like our oats thick, so add a little more milk or applesauce if you want to thin it out. Note, that these measurements are for quick oats and NOT the old fashioned variety.
