I’ve been trying to think of a way to use up the drawer full of organic oranges in our fridge and came up with this oatmeal combo. We eat oatmeal almost every day (10-min Energizing Oats!) so it’s nice to vary up the toppings a bit. This keeps well so feel free to make a double batch and serve it for the next few days. Our toddler loves this recipe!

10-Minute Energizing Oatmeal

I make this oatmeal often because it’s quick, healthy and filling… great for toddlers with tons of energy or Moms who may not have enough! I served this with a little Kal Brand Stevia, Almond Milk and diced persimmons from my CSA delivery (Abundant Harvest Organics)… delicious!

This is all you need to make this recipe:

Prep and Cook Time: 10 minutesIngredients:

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 sliced almonds, walnuts or raw pumpkin seeds (any nuts you like!)
  • 1 cup soymilk or almond milk

Directions:

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, then turn the heat to low and add the oats.
  2. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly so that the oatmeal will not clump together. Add cinnamon, raisins and almonds, stir, cover the pan and turn off heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Serve with fruit, milk and sweetener, if desired.

Serves 2
