Oats is really healthy and all you need is add the things they love… like chocolate or cream; sprinkle chocolate powder and kids - they'll go 'mom it so yumm! It's really a pleasure to see them eating anything other than fast food-no benefit foods. Not that you have to just give them up or you sure might have a major protest - so take it in easy bites like a mom said - her kid screamed yumeee! I make it a complete breakfast with nuts, fruit and 'Ragi
Oats - A diet friendly breakfast
Ingredients: 4-6 tbsp Oats,
Grated apple,
A handful of dry fruits – almonds, raisins, walnuts and others you like
Cinnamon powdered
Milk.
Sugar is not needed – it’s yummy as it is! (you feel like it, add some sugar).
Method:
Put the Oats to boil with water and milk.
Add the milk to make it more creamy and rich; you could use Soya milk if you like.
Add the milk to make it more creamy and rich; you could use Soya milk if you like.
Once it is cooked, add the apple, dry-fruits, finally – the cinnamon powder.
Remove it in to serving bowls.
Garnish with diced almonds, apple slices, nuts, currants…could add other fruits if you like…but this is my favourite – apple’s so absolutely yum.
Serve hot or chilled!
Kids love this as long it is smothered with fruits, dry fruits and cream...Add sugar, pure honey or jaggery...
Tips:
- The almonds should be coarsely ground (it is a neat trick – just get the mixer started and off it and you will have coarse bits of almond
- The walnuts – just break into tiny bits with your hand
- Cinnamon brings out all the flavours with a subtle top note!
For weight loss
Oats has a whole lot of benefits for everyone.Check the benefits of Oats. It keeps you full for a longer period of time, so you snack less and this is one 'magic cereal' that is good for those who want to shed off a few pounds! It helps in controlling your blood sugar levels, cholesterol.
Add a little low fat - butter/oil/ghee( just a bit) until it is really thick. Add it to the ‘ragi’ mixture and you have a double whammy breakfast!
