Saturday mornings are for lounging around and OATS.
What you’ll need:
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries from Trader Joe’s
- Handful of sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of apple butter
*Pre diabetics and diabetics: skip the honey and apple butter
- 1 serving = 1/4 c uncooked oats = 1 CHO exchange = 15 grams CHO
Directions:
- Boil water. Add oats. Lower heat. Cook for 7-9 mins. I find that perfect time is 7-8 mins.
- Add to bowl then add toppings.
- Make some coffee.
