OVERNIGHT SUPER PORRIDGE WITH FRUIT

We have all heard about 'super foods' now. This is truly a super breakfast and one of my favorites! Try to buy organic ingredients, as much as possible. Start the oats the night before and the oats will cook in just 8 to 10 minutes in the morning. Add any of your favorite fresh and/or dried fruit. This would be great for your children on school days, just add a hard boiled egg for protein, and this will keep them full until lunch.



3 cups water
¾ cup Scottish or Irish steel-cut oats
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch ground ginger
Pinch ground cinnamon

Soak the oats overnight.
Bring water to a boil.
Add the oats, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. 
Simmer 1 minute. 
Cover pot, let cool, and then store overnight in refrigerator.

The next morning cook the oatmeal on low for 8 to 10 minutes; stirring occasionally.

4 dried figs, thinly sliced
4 dried apricots, thinly sliced
4 dried plums (prunes), thinly sliced
½ apple, diced
2 T dried cranberries
¼ cup chopped walnuts
Fresh blueberries (when in season)
2 t ground flax seeds
2 t chia seeds
2 t flax seed oil
2 t raw unfiltered honey (preferably organic)

Spoon the oats into 2 to 3 bowls and evenly divide with the rest of the ingredients.

Serves 2 to 3
