Hi there! Long time no see. After several weeks of absence (vacations and then coming back to reality with tons of homework) I'm back. Today I want to share with you a recipe for a delicious and healthy oatmeal. This yummy oats recipe will become one of your favorite breakfasts.
Oats are a complex carbohydrate that provide vitamins, minerals and proteins. At the same time, oatmeal is a food that gives great benefits to people with digestive problems, weight problems, diabetes and high cholesterol.
Ingredients (1 person)
- 1 small apple chopped into small pieces
- 3 or 4 sliced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon of almond butter (divided into two) **
- ⅓ cup of water
- ⅓ cup of almond milk
- ⅓ cup of old fashioned whole grain oats
Directions
- Combine oats, milk and water in a small saucepan. Add half a tablespoon of almond butter.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat, simmer and stir a couple of times to mix well the ingredients.
- Continue to simmer until the oatmeal is ready. About 5 minutes.
- Serve oats in a bowl, add the fruit and drizzle with the remaining almond butter.
TIP: Warm up the almond butter for 15 seconds in the microwave. This makes it easier to drizzle on top of the oatmeal.
** I like to divide the almond butter to drizzle some of it over the fruit in the end, however it is not absolutely necessary. To make it faster you can add the full tablespoon on step one.
