Oatmeal (Blueberry Pie)
Description
We do love our oatmeal! This was Brock’s Father’s Day breakfast and he was well pleased…it’s another goody to add to our Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal and Apple Pie Oatmeal rotation. Borrowed from ‘A Modern Way to Eat’, by Anna Jones, below is my tweaked recipe that is a perfect amount for the 4 of us – enjoy!
Ingredients
Oatmeal (Blueberry Pie)
1 c. amaranth (I used kamut), soaked in water overnight, then drained
1 c. oatmeal
2 cans (400 mL) coconut milk
3 to 4 c. blueberries (or strawberries, cherries or plums)
2 T. maple syrup
2 t. cinnamon
1 T. fresh lemon juice (half a lemon)
Instructions
Put both grains and both cans of milk into a good-sized sauce pan and bring it all to a gentle simmer while stirring. Allow it to continue simmering – 15 to 20 minutes – until it’s your desired consistency. Get the fruit going while the oatmeal cooks.
Put the blueberries, syrup, cinnamon and lemon juice into a non-stick skillet and cook over medium heat. Use a potato masher or a fork to squish about half of the berries, and then simmer the mix until the liquid is reduced by about half and it’s a jammy texture, like pie filling.
Serve up big bowls of oatmeal with a healthy dose of blueberry goodness and have a wonderful start to your day!
