Gluten-free Oatmeal

Prep Time 5 mins / Cooking Time 10 mins/ Serves 2

Ingredients

1. • 1 cup of old-fashioned gluten-free oatmeal
   

2. • 2 cups of filtered/spring water, can use any nut milk of your choice
   

Optional: Can add maple syrup/coconut sugar/honey as a sweetener, then add fresh fruits, bananas and walnut combo tastes great, apples with cinnamon too, or make a fresh berry compote for a topping.

1. • 2 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc)
   

2. • juice of a lemon
   

3. •  2 tabs of raw honey
   

4. •1/4 cup of water
   

Heat the above ingredients in a ceramic sauce pan on a low/medium heat until berries are soft, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Preparation

Place the water and oatmeal, in a ceramic saucepan, stir to combine. Heat on high until almost to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and allow to cook for another 5 mins. Place in serving bowls and add toppings of your choice.

TIPS

Most people can tolerate oatmeal, and as long as it’s gluten-free, it makes a good satisfying breakfast. It’s a good transition food. Raw fresh food is the best for healing, but some of us cannot go raw or even eat fruit because we are too sensitive to the detoxing affects of the fruit.

If you can tolerate old-fashioned oatmeal, maybe try steel-cut oats for a change, they do take triple the time to cook though and may be a little harder to digest.

I will share a home favorite on my blog soon, “Baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal” - hopefully it will be one  of your favorites too. It’s great for busy school mornings, as well as packed lunches!!!
