During the weekdays I like to keep things simple for breakfast. So for at least 2-3 days a week my husband I enjoy this simple dish for breakfast. I usually make it on Sunday evenings and then I’m all set for the week! This is not only a very nutritious but also a very filling breakfast dish.

Ingredients

• Steel Cut Organic Oatmeal : ½ cup
• Ground flax seed : 2 tablespoon
• Organic 1% milk : ½ cup
• Organic raw granulated brown sugar : 3 teaspoons
• Chopped walnuts : _1/3 cup
• Organic raisins & dried cranberries : _1/8 cup

 Directions

• Take 2 cups of water in a pan and heat it till it boils.
• Then add the ½ cup of oatmeal, and lower the heat to medium. Keep it partially covered so it doesn’t bubble over, for 10 minutes.
• Stir it once or twice so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
• Then add the flax, sugar and milk.
• Cook it for another 5 minutes.
• If it seems too thick you can add another _1/3 – _½ cup water and cook for a minute so that the water doesn’t separate.

• Then remove from the heat.
• Add the walnuts and raisins and cranberries. Mix well.
• This refrigerates really well. You can use it for 5-6 days. If it seems too thick, add some water/milk and just heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds! On the same note it freezes really well also. Enjoy!
