Prep Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 c fresh or frozen (thawed) raspberries
¼ t ground ginger
1 T honey (optional)
1 c rolled oats (not quick cooking oats)
2 c water (or use nut based or oat milk for added protein)
2 T hulled hemp seeds
2 T Raw or roasted pumpkin seeds
¼ c blackberries or blueberries
Directions:
Topping: Place the raspberries, ginger and honey in a small saucepan, stir together and cook over medium heat. Crush the berries while stirring to release the juices. Cook until you have a smooth jam like consistency – about 1 minute. Remove from heat – mixture will thicken a bit upon cooling.
Oatmeal: Combine the oats and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stir occasionally and cook until desired consistency. This usually takes 5 – 7 minutes.
Divide the oatmeal in two bowls and top with raspberry/ginger topping. Arrange hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, blackberries or blueberries around the edges of the bowl. Enjoy this filling hearty and high protein winter breakfast oatmeal.
