Cherry Peanut Butter Oatmeal- Omega rich!

Well, I can officially say I am obsessed with nut butter. I love them ALL. As my Trader Joe's Almond Butter just ran out, I have been eating peanut butter. Lighter on the pocket here in Greece.

I do have a Vita-Mix, but I haven't mastered the art of nut butters yet. Probably should get to it!

This morning I made a divine pot of oatmeal and had to share! Hope you will give this yummy recipe a try. Simple and energy-fueling for a cold winter's day.

3/4 cup of soaked oatmeal from evening before (more if you are particularly active or prefer a larger breakfast)

1/4 cup cherries (mine were frozen, I just defrosted the night before next to the soaking oats)

1 TBSP peanut butter, today was smooth PB

1 TBSP hemp seeds

dash of sea salt

Optional: Warmed almond milk

1. Soak oats in oatmeal and a dash of sea salt for 12 hours in filtered water (the evening before works great.) The amount of water doesn't really matter, it will just change the consistency. I use enough water to ensure the oats are submerged and then add about 1/4 cup more. Soaking oats makes them easier to digest and removes the anti-nutrients.

2. Defrost cherries (if they are frozen) the evening before.

3. In the morning, cook the oatmeal and the water it was soaking in. 

4. Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, adding the peanut butter and stirring.

5. Fold in the cherries and turn off the heat.

6. Place oatmeal in a bowl and top with hemp seed and almond milk. You can also add flax and chia seeds, which will really up the nutrient count- especially your omegas!

Enjoy!

Baked banana crunch oatmeal

A great recipe for a cold, winter morning. Especially great for those mornings when you are in a rush. I popped this in the oven and by the time I was ready to head out the door the dish was ready to devour!

2 cups oats (groats/rolled/steel cut)

1.5 cups nutmilk (I love almond and coconut)

Soak these two items together overnight in the fridge. In the morning set the oven to 350F and then add the following:

2 bananas, sliced

2 organic eggs

1 heaping spoon of coconut oil 

Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, sea salt

Garnish with rapadura or sweetener of your choice. If using honey wait to add until after you bake as honey is therapeutic when eaten raw. Also, you can omit the sweetener as the milk and bananas give the dish a splash of sweet. 

Bake for 35 minutes ( got in the shower at this point!) 

Remove from the oven and top with nutmilk and honey or eat as it is.

My tummy is warm and my heart is full after a bowl of this breakfast treat! Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow!
