Optimize Your Morning with EVOO Oatmeal
1:05
Get your morning off to a great start by supercharging your oatmeal with EVOO. By adding olive oil to this traditional breakfast staple, you will add a key source of antioxidants and heart healthy monounsaturated fats to your morning meal.
EVOO complements the sweeter flavors of the bananas and blueberries nicely, creating a savory, almost umami taste. It also helps create a richer and more smooth texture; perfect for a hearty breakfast before skiing or hiking.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon EVOO
- 2-3 dashes of salt
- 2-3 dashes of pepper
- 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup shelled walnuts
Directions:
- Combine water, salt and oatmeal in bowl and microwave for 2:15
- Remove from microwave and add blueberries, banana and EVOO, stirring well
- Return to microwave and run on high for 1:15
- Remove and add walnuts, maple syrup and pepper to taste
(cooking times may vary depending on the wattage power of the microwave)
