BAKED APORRIDGY
I’m sorry but I have no regrets. This might take longer than regular porridge, but it’s worth the wait. Go fold my laundry or something until it’s ready.
1 cup rolled oat flakes
1
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
2 tsp molasses
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a lightly oiled 8x8-inch baking pan, stir all ingredients together and bake for 40-45 minutes. Serve immediately.
BREAKFAST COUSCOUS
Couscous can be found in most grocery stores or Middle Eastern markets. Couscous is granular semolina (wheat) and is a great quick alternative grain to rice when you’re super strapped for time. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I’m coo-coo for couscous!
1 banana, sliced
In a small pot on high heat, bring the “milk” and juice to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in couscous, bananas, and cinnamon; cover with lid and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for an additional 2 minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 1 large or 2 small servings.
UBER QUICK BREAKFAST OATS
This recipe is so simple, I feel ridiculous putting it down on to paper for you, but it’s a nummy way to eat oats when you’re in a hurry.
“milk”
maple syrup (optional)
Place oat flakes into cereal bowl. Cover with desired amount of “milk” and some dried fruit. Drizzle a little maple syrup on top and eat. Makes 1 serving.
QUICK BREAKFAST QUINOA
Quinoa is an über nutritious grain that is not only high in protein, but is a complete protein all on its own.
Don’t forget to rinse it thoroughly before cooking.
1
In a medium saucepan on high heat, bring the “milk” to a boil. Reduce heat and add the quinoa and raisins. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked. With a blender or food processor, blend the quinoa till smooth. Stir in the fresh fruit and serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
