Ingredients

1/4 cup steel cut oats
1 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk
2 tablespoons raisins
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or mixed berries
1 tablespoon raw sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon hemp seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground flax seed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine the oats, non-dairy milk and raisins. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking, until oats are tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in blueberries and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

Remove from heat and stir in seeds and cinnamon.

This is great! At first I was actually using 3 cups of oatmeal but I think it is supposed to be 3 cups cooked oatmeal so I only use 1.5 cups dry oatmeal with 2 1/4 cup water. I never added a persimmon since I have not found one yet. I add the peeled apple and Cinnamon right when I start cooking it along with the raisins shortly after and the ground flax seed just before cooking is complete

I also grind the sunflower seeds in the vitamix since I was not chewing them fully.
Grinding them makes them super absorbable and I sprinkle the ounce on top of the oatmeal once it is done and in the bowl. And finally I pour the soymilk over the oatmeal and ground flaxseed in the bowl.

Unsulphered Apricots and/or dates also make a good substitute if you are out of raisins.
Date sugar (dried dates) also is good as a sweetner.

This breakfast is SOOO healthy and SOOO tasty I may even be able to get my teenagers to eat it! Easy and quick to make. Beautiful to look at! I used mixed frozen berries which added more color and taste. I may add walnuts or pecans the next time I try it!

Too heavy and too carb-rich for me. Knocked me right out. I got so sleepy I had to take a nap right after breakfast... Not very micro-nutrient rich either.

I made this recipe for our family this morning. The kids loved it. I did not read the directions thoroughly and cooked the oats with water instead of soy milk. Oops! But they still loved it! I also didn't add the sunflower seeds, because our family eats way too many seeds/nuts. Nicely sweetened with Fruit! We will make again.

I did enjoy this breakfast. It was a nice change. I didn't use vanilla soy milk though. I used unsweetened soy milk. It was still yummy. I used dried apricots instead of raisins. I think next time I'll use raisins.

This was delish! I had Bob's red mill 5 grain and flax meal cereal instead of oats. Didn't have apple and raisins. I had currents and goji berries. It turned out great! Thanks for the yummy recipe.

I usually leave the house at 4:30 to get to work. Is there a way to fix this for the week and put in the microwave for breakfast at the office during the week?
