Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates)
- 0.25 cup Almonds (chopped) or other nuts
- 1 cup Milk or plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices, or apple chunks, optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, shredded coconut, dried fruit, and almonds. Mix well.
If serving cold: Add the milk or plant-based milk to the dry mixture. Stir to combine and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some liquid. Add fresh fruit, if desired. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
If serving hot: In a small saucepan, combine the dry mixture and milk or plant-based milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl and top with fresh fruit, honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fiber-packed breakfast.
