    This was breakfast

    Admittedly, I used a hot cereal mix. But it was Bob's Red Mill and so I feel good about that. This is a pre-sweetened mix so I only added extra sugar on top when serving as it has plenty of flavour on it's own.

    Letting the cereal soak overnight in a portion of the liquid called for on the package, allows it to soften and shortens the cooking time in the morning. Which means you can totally do this during the week.

    I've also been known to make enough for a couple of days at once, warming up leftovers as I need them.

    This method will work with other, unsweetened, unflavoured whole-grain hot cereal mixes - there are several others I've found at the bulk food store. You would just need to add some sweetener and spice as you bring it to a boil in the morning. For this quantity, I would add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or another sweetener, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and a teaspoon of vanilla.

    Basically, I let 1 cup of grains soak overnight in 2 cups of water. In the morning I grated 2 small apples into the cereal, added ⅓ cup of raisins, 1 cup of almond milk and brought the pot to a boil. Once it is boiling, it cooks in 8-10 minutes and you have a whole grain cereal on the table in the time it takes the kids to get dressed. At the table serve with brown sugar or maple syrup, hemp or sunflower seeds, cream (soy or otherwise) or yogurt and more fresh diced apples.

    Just like that, a hot breakfast in a few minutes.

    Good morning.

      Yum! This is such a delicious-looking apple cinammon oatmeal recipe.I can’t wait to make this recipe! I have been soaking my oatmeal overnight lately and eating it raw with fresh fruit, soaked seeds and almond or hemp milk. I love your photos too, by the way! I subscribed to stay up to date on new recipes. Glad I found you on Healthy Vegan Friday.
