Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 green tea bag
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup toppings (e.g. banana, dried fruit, chopped nuts, flaked coconut)
Instructions
  1. Combine boiling water with the green tea bag in a saucepan and let them steep for 5 minutes together.
  2. Add in milk, oats, and ground flaxseed meal and turn the heat on to medium, beginning to stir when the liquid bubbles. Cook for 5-6 minutes and then turn off the heat. It should be thick and stick to your spoon - feel free to add additional liquid (water, milk, or additional green tea) now if you prefer thinner oatmeal.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and then let the oatmeal sit for a minute.
  4. Split the oatmeal into two bowls and top with your favorite toppings.
