It's Saturday, and DH is home, so with him watching our only waking daughter, I was able to take the time to make a little something extra that I hoped would be yummy enough to encourage us at the start of this diet. I got this recipe from Canadian Living, and it was delicious! (Reports from various family members varied.)
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Porridge
3 cups water
½ tsp. salt
1⅓ cups wheat-free oats*
½ cup apple, peeled and diced
⅓ cup raisins (optional)
½ tsp. cinnamon
Pure maple syrup (optional)
- In saucepan, bring apple juice and salt to boil.
- Stir in rolled oats, apple, raisins (if using) and cinnamon.
- Reduce heat and simmer, string constantly, until desired thickness, about 4 minutes.
- Top with maple syrup for sweetener, if desired.
* My gluten-sensitive friend let me know that oats are typically stored in the same silos that store wheat, and they are probably processed on the same equipment, too. Thus, it's important for those who are gluten-sensitive or celiac to buy oats that are specifically labelled as wheat-free.
