Ingredients

  • 10 cups of water
  • 1 cup of steel cut oats
  • 1/4 cup of flaxseed meal
  • 1/4 cup of chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup of goji berries
  • 3/4 cup of raisins
  • 3/4 cup of dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

Step 1

In a spacious pot, bring water to a lively boil. Sprinkle in oats, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds, giving each a whisk to ensure a smooth blend. Infuse the mix with vibrant goji berries, sweet raisins, tart cranberries, rich brown sugar, crunchy pumpkin seeds, and fragrant cinnamon. Lower the heat and let it simmer, occasionally stirring, until your oatmeal achieves the perfect texture, usually around 40 to 45 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace Mason Jars : Store your homemade oatmeal in individual mason jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts. They not only look cute but also keep your oatmeal fresh.
  2. 2. Freeze it Flat : Spread out your oatmeal on a baking sheet and freeze it flat before transferring it to a container. This way, you can easily break off a portion whenever you need it.
  3. 3. Layer it Up : Create oatmeal parfaits by layering your oats with yogurt and fresh fruits in a glass jar. This not only looks visually appealing but also keeps the ingredients separate until you're ready to mix and eat.
