Perfect Oatmeal

A perfect way to start a day of healthy eating. And who would have thought that a bowl of oatmeal could provide over half of the daily value for those hard-to-find omega-3 fatty acids!

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2-1/4 cups water
• dash salt
• 1 cup regular rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 TBS ground flaxseeds
• 1 TBS blackstrap molasses
• 1 cup milk or dairy-free milk alternative

Directions:

1.    Combine the water and salt in a small saucepan and turn the heat to high.

2.    When the water boils, turn the heat to low, add oatmeal, and cook, stirring, until the water is just absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add cinnamon, cranberries, walnuts, and flaxseeds. Stir, cover the pan, and turn off heat. Let set for 5 minutes. Serve with milk and molasses.
