The synergy of nutrients in oats makes them an outstanding and inexpensive super-food suitable for the whole family. New discoveries, combined with what’s been known about oats for years, have shown they have wonderful health-promoting powers…. Oats are low in calories, high in fibre and protein, a rich source of magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium and thiamine.
Miranda’s Organic Oatmeal
- 1 cup of oatmeal
- 1 and a half cups of water
- Half a cup of goat milk
- 1 teaspoon of honey or maple sugar
- 1 tablespoon of soaked chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon of cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Chia seeds – Chia seeds contain powerful and naturally occurring antioxidants – with 4 times more antioxidants than blueberries. Chia is nutritionally loaded with 5 times more calcium than milk, 3 times more iron than spinach, 15 times more magnesium than broccoli. I also like to add Chia to salads, smoothies and muffins.
Cacao Powder – I choose raw cacao powder that is cold pressed without chemicals, it has 360% more anti-oxidants than regular cocoa… that’s 21 more times than green tea! I also add to smoothies, cookie batter or desert recipes
Thank you for sharing this recipe Miranda. I discovered porridge oats when I was living in London and it soon became my go-to favourite breakfast. But then, for some reason, I got bored with it and forgot about it. Adding the cacao powder and chia seeds sounds like an interesting twist to this staple. Looking forward to trying it!
Warmly,
Elsa
Do you mix this all together and then heat? What are the rest of the instructions?
Any preparation method that you can share with us? Do we need to cook the oats? Or do we simply need to mix these ingredients together? xx
Hi Miranda, just a simple question: do you cook it?
Hi,
This recipe is for 1 or 2 serve?

Hi there! How long do you soak the chia seeds? And do you combine everything while the oatmeal cooks, or after?
Is there a recipe? Just shows the ingredients.
Hi there,
Are the oats gluten-free?
