What I’m digging lately – Molasses Maple Oatmeal
Molasses is crazy good for, eliminates the need to add much sugar, and gives the oats a complex flavor.
Depending on how much time you have to spare I have two versions.
The busy woman version and the lazy day version.
First up for the busy folk. This can either be made the night before and stored in the fridge. Or premade in the morning and then enjoyed at a later time. (It’s kind of better if it sits for a half hour or so)
- 1/3 c oats
- 1/4 c oat bran
- 1 T chia
- 1 T flax
- 1 c +2 T of hot water or milk
- 1 T Molasses
- 1/2 T Maple Syrup
- Cinnamon
I put flax and chia meal in everything, but it would work just as well without it. I also love the texture the oat bran/oat mix gives. But either or would do too.
If you have the luxury of cooking oats in a pot, this one gives a slightly but equally good consistency.
Same ingredients as before though a bit more water may be necessary.
Add the molasses, cinnamon, and maple in once the mixture has congealed a bit more.
I love to make a big batch on Sundays and then reheat it in the mornings for a quick brekkie.
It looks like dessert, but its just the right amount of sweetness to start off your day.
It’s also excellent drowned in almond milk.
