Forget bland 1 minute oatmeal! Try this, my own favourite start to the day, and get addicted to the taste and the energy it provides. I eat this serve on my own, but most will want to share it. My husband loves it when I omit the polenta and add chopped banana instead - he eats it as a dessert!
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons polenta
1 teaspoon shredded coconut
1 teaspoon slivered almonds
2 tablespoons soymilk (or 1 tbsp powdered milk)
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2-1 cup water
Directions:
1. Place all dry ingredients in small saucepan, mix together with water.
2. Simmer over low heat for approx.
3. 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. As it thickens, add a little additional water to maintain the creamy texture (I like mine quite thick).
5. It can be ready after about 10 minutes, but I find the flavour and texture best the longer I cook it- I just keep adding water until I'm ready to eat!
6. I enjoy mine with a dob of butter (or dairy-free marg, these days), a generous sprinkling of brown sugar or honey, a handful of LSA (linseed, sunflower seeds and ground almonds- very high in Omega-3 and-6, the essential fatty acids), and soy milk.
7. A great start to every day!
