This oatmeal is mmmm good and can last one person all week when made ahead. Try topped with honey, maple syrup, fruit jam, or preserves, or a 1/4 cup of warm milk. Serve immediately or make ahead and refrigerate.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 10 cups water

  • 1 cup steel cut oats

  • ¼ cup flaxseed meal

  • ¼ cup chia seeds

  • ¾ cup goji berries

  • ¾ cup raisins

  • ¾ cup dried cranberries

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add oats, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds, whisking well after each addition to prevent clumps. Add goji berries, raisins, cranberries, brown sugar, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oatmeal reaches desired consistency, 40 to 45 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Berry alternatives: mulberries, golden berries, strawberries, blueberries, diced apples.

Nut & seed alternatives: sliced almonds, pistachios, sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans. I like to include 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds for a little extra crunch.
