Oatmeal is a fabulous comfort food with a very low carbon footprint (it was mentioned twice in the Washington Post article about carbon footprint of food choices). Once you start adding seeds, fruits, and nuts, the possibilities are endless and it becomes a nutritional powerhouse.
Ingredients:
You can do this in a saucepan if you’d like, but for one bowl, you can just mix everything through the cinnamon and salt in a bowl and microwave for two minutes. In a saucepan, just boil the water, add ingredients through cinnamon and salt, and turn down heat to a simmer for a few minutes.
Top with peanut butter, flax seeds, chia seeds, and some almond or soy milk.
Recipe Notes
With the warm pieces of apple throughout, you may find you don’t need sugar, even if you usually add it to oatmeal.
