Quaker Otas Breakfast

Preparation time: 15 - 20 mins

Ingredients:

  • Quaker Oats - 1 measure
  • Water - 1 and 1/2 measure
  • Milk - 1 measure
  • Honey - 2-3 tsp
  • Sugar free - 1/4 tsp
  • Mixed dry fruits - 1/2 Cup Or Mixed fresh fruits of your choice except citrus fruits.
  • Flax seeds - 1tsp (roughly crushed)

Method:

  • In a thick bottom sauce pan, boil water. Add oats and cook for 2 mins.
  • Add milk and sugar free and continue to boil with frequent stir for rest of 10 to 15 mins till it begins to thick or leave the edges. The consistency should be of semi solid. Turnoff the flame and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • When it is almost cooled to room temperature, sprinkle flax seeds(roughly crushed), add honey and mixed dry fruits or any fresh fruits cut into small pieces except citrus fruits and serve.
You can also use oven to cook oats.
Milk is added to make it nutritious and a complete breakfast, after preparation allowing it to cool for room temperature is also important because if you add fruits  as soon as you turn off the flame, they tend too loose its crispiness and will be very soft as if you have cooked them.

Oats also tastes good with just raisins, or combination of cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachio and raisins and fruits like banana, apple, pineapple, strawberry, seedless green grapes, guava, sapota, papaya and cherries.


Oats + Milk + Honey + Flax seeds + Any choice of your dry fruits or fresh fruits - Oil...Whats more healthy way to start a day....
