Instructions
- Making oatmeal is a personal thing. And I mean that in all seriousness.
- Some like it thick; others thin. Some like it made with water; others with milk. Some like extra berries; some more nuts.
- The proportions of ingredients I’ve provided will give you a good starting point – make the oatmeal your own way and make it yours!
- If using quick or instant gluten free oats, all you need to do is measure the oats, flaxseed meal and quinoa flakes or coconut (or any combination of these you choose to use) and pour boiling water on top of the mixture, stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes or so.
- At that point, stir in milk or more water to get the oats to the consistency you prefer, then add in any berries or nuts or seeds you like, and as much maple syrup or agave you need to get the taste just right!
- If using regular rolled or steel cut gluten free oats, you’ll need to follow the package directions to prepare the oatmeal on the stove top or microwave or crockpot, then proceed to add milk or more water and add ins, as described above.
- Serves one.
