It’s as easy as pie making oatmeal for you to have a spectacular breakfast or lunch packed FULL of nutrition.

I wish I could tell you how yummy this is.  It has become a favorite of mine and my 1 year old granddaughter, Josie.  The two of us make a big pot and eat and eat it.  I even send some home with her because I know how much she loves it.

And all you have to do is pile a bunch of stuff in a pot and wait a few minutes and there it is!  Amazingness!

I start by using my food processor to quickly grate up 1 c. of carrots.

I throw the carrots into a pot along with the following ingredients:

1 c. steel cut oats

1/2 c. shredded coconut

1 1/2 c. milk or coconut milk (I’ve used both and they’re both delicious)

1 1/2 c. water

2 T. maple syrup

1 heaping tsp. of cinnamon

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp allspice

1 pinch of salt

1 tsp. vanilla

Optional:

1/4 c. chia seeds

1/4 c. ground flaxseeds

Bring everything to a boil over medium heat and then reduce the heat to low and simmer of 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve with toasted pecans or coconut as a garnish, and perhaps a splash of cream or milk.

Soooo yummy.  So nourishing!  Try it and you’ll see!
