Easy, Yummy Breakfast

I think the recipe below might be the easiest breakfast in the world. And it's very healthy too. Mornings can intimidate me in my typically groggy, sun-rising state at 6 a.m. with two boys ready to cease the day and exert all the energy they stole from me.

Last night I whipped this up in the 5 minutes before heading to bed. It was well worth the minimal effort. I used to make something similar years ago when I was single and working. In both cases, it was delightful to have breakfast ready for consuming.

Benefits: This gig is healthier, just as easy and less expensive than boxed cereal. Plus it gets better the longer it sits and doesn't fall apart like gross, soggy cereal (a plus when dealing with the kiddos). It's gluten, dairy and corn free, raw and delish!

Here's the recipe I made this morning which has a high capacity for modification. Adjust to your or your family's taste and quantity. Let's call it:

Soaked Mueslix Recipe Template
Serves 4-ish

2 c. Rolled oats (I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oats)
1/4 c. Raw honey
Water (enough to cover mixture by about 1/2 inch)

Optional add-ins:
Cinnamon (to taste)
Chia seeds (2 tbs. or so)
1/2 tsp. Ground Kelp (a few sprinkles)
Raw sunflower seeds (a couple handfuls)
Raisins / cranberries (whatever floats your boat)

At night, in a large glass container add oats and raw honey. Using two spoons stir / cut honey into oats until mixture starts to clump together. Add cinnamon, chia seeds, ground kelp and sunflower seeds. Mix until evenly distributed. Cover with filtered water and give it a mix. Cover container with lid or towel. Let sit on counter until morning. Just before eating add in dried fruit to whole container or atop individual servings.

Note: This will also work in the morning with about 20 minutes to soak. It won't be quite the same, but still delicious and my boys like it just the same. However I like the convenience of tossing it together before bed.

Enjoy!
