I eagerly purchased this book from Amazon, and started reading through the recipes.
Ingredients that were easily accessible- check
Fresh fruit and some form of sweetener- check
Nutrition information provided for each dish- check
Easy to follow recipes- check
And drum roll please, recipes I can cook overnight in the crockpot, so I have a hot breakfast waiting for me in the morning- CHECK!
Yeah, I was sold. Plus the author, Jenny Grothe, tells her story about how she went from being overweight, to fit, which led to her creating these breakfast recipes. Of course, I had to try one immediately. Blueberry it is. It also happens to be the first recipe that she created.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup of water
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp baking powder
sugar substitute, to taste
10-12 fresh blueberries (I recommend more)
cinnamon, to taste
pinch raw sugar
Directions:
Mix all but the last ingredient in an oven-proof bowl (I use a ramekin) and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Oatmeal both before mixing (right) and after mixing (left) |
Remove oatmeal from over and sprinkle ith raw sugar. Turn oven to broil and broil for 2-3 minutes until sugar starts to caramelize.
Serving: 1
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
The finished product as amazing. It really makes me love oatmeal. I can't wait to try more recipes from this book (and the blog about them).
