A New Breakfast Recipe!

It has been one of those days, a rushed scene of madness with the feeling of nothing being accomplished. I actually did get some things done off my to-do list. What made my morning is my new found oatmeal creation featuring, Cream Hill Estates Oats.

I have been in the market for a good quality rolled oat that is in its purest form. There are only a few companies who actually sell a product like this. Cream Hill Estates is one of the best. Cream Hill Estates is a Montreal-based company that produces and distributes pure rolled oats, oat flour and whole oat kernels (groats). They offer a purity guarantee on the products the sell and they are kosher. As they state, “We offer a purity guarantee that our oats are uncontaminated with wheat, barley, rye, triticale, kamut, spelt and other grains that are closely related to wheat.” How can you go wrong?

I decided to use the rolled oats in a new recipe that I found while investigating The Clean Eating Diet by Tosca Reno.  I am always looking for more clean eating recipes and this book gave me a bunch of new ideas that will be featured here in the near future. Here is a great breakfast one that is simple and delish!

Clean Eating Porridge

Courtesy of  The Clean Eating Diet by Tosca Reno

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup each rolled oats, oat bran, rye flakes (I could not find these), barley flakes, and ground flaxseed. (Whole Foods Bulk Bins is where I found most of these items)
• 2 cups of water
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp each cinnamon and nutmeg
• 1/4 cup silvered almonds
• 1 medium apple (I used a banana)

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cover and place over moderate heat. When mixture comes to a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes, stirring continuously. When porridge is smooth and cooked through, remove from heat and serve.

I found that this made enough for three servings. I was able to package each serving for a quick morning grab and go.

A serving of Clean Eating Oats!

This recipe is amazing. I was so fulfilled after eating the oats that I did not need my morning snack. I could definitely taste the difference in using high quality products, especially the oats. There are many places you can buy the oats online if they do not sell them at a local store. If you would like more information on Cream Hill Estates visit there website for more valuable information.
