Chia and Fruit Oatmeal

This is a stick-to-you bowl of oatmeal – oatmeal should taste awesome while you cram goodness into it! To easily grind the chia seeds use a clean coffee grinder or spice mill, they will be powdered in a couple seconds.

Chia and Fruit Oatmeal

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup pitted dried prunes (plums)
  • 1 apple, peeled, cored and quartered, finely shredded
  • 4 ounce tub applesauce, preferably unsweetened
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar, dark preferably and packed
  • 2 Tbsp sunflower butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1 Tbsp chia seed, finely ground ( http://www.nps.gov/crla/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm )
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Add everything but the chia seed to a heavy medium saucepan, bring to a boil. Turn to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Divide between 2 bowls and top with the chia and a little more sugar, to taste. To eat, stir in the chia.

Serves 2.

  1. Wow, this looks amazing! It’s so awesome that you focus on feeding your family healthy foods (like chia seeds, my favorite!). Maybe you can take it a step further and teach your boys how to cook up some of these great recipes.

    Involving kids in the kitchen is a great way for them to gain valuable life skills like math and teamwork, while learning all about the food they eat. That’s why I work with The Kids Cook Monday, an initiative encouraging families to set aside the first day of every week to cook and eat together as a family. (Check out http://www.thekidscookmonday.org)

    We’re looking for bloggers to write weekly posts, usually chronicling a family dinner or recipe. We would love to have you on board, your posts are great! If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please email me at [email protected].

    Thanks
