Bob's Red Mill
Organic Extra
Thick
Rolled Oats
Personally, I think Bob's Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats are the tastiest on the market. The flavor of these oats is better than any other product I've tested. There are several OAT versions at Bob's Red MIll: Instant Oats, Rolled Quick Cooking Oats, Rolled-Regular Old Fashioned, Rolled Thick Oats, and Steel-Cut Oats. Each version is excellent in taste and texture, so try them for yourself.

Vegan Breakfast
Cherry Chia Seed Oatmeal
I couldn't believe that I could eat chia seeds raw, not to mention LOVE them! These little specks look like poppyseeds, but they are much more versatile in vegan recipes and packed with vegan protein! I started sprinkling them on everything! Anyway, this is our vegan breakfast that I prepare at least twice a week.
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
the oatmeal
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats
1 cup filtered water
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
the oatmeal toppers
1/2 cup frozen cherries, whole
2 heaping tablespoons sliced almonds
1/4 cup soy milk creamer
2 tablespoons agave nectar
2 tablespoons raw chia seeds
Tools
medium sauce pan with lid
measuring cups and spoons
2 soup bowls
cutting board
knife
Preparation
Bob's Red Organic Old Fashion Oatmeal
The Oatmeal
Measure the oats into a medium sized heavy bottomed sauce pan with a lid.
Dry pan roast the oats for a minute or two and then add the water and sea salt.
Bring the oats to a simmer and immediately turn the heat off and cover the pan with the lid.
HINT: This method of oatmeal preparation leaves the oats whole, yet soft... not mushy and gluey. Don't worry if some liquid is left, but scoop it into the bowls.
The Oatmeal Toppers
While the oatmeal is absorbing the water, cut the frozen cherries into quarters.
Frozen Cherries Quartered
Gather the sliced almonds, soy creamer, agave nectar and chia seeds.
Presentation
Scoop half the oatmeal in the sauce pan into each serving bowl.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of chia seed over each bowl filled with oatmeal.
Raw Chia Seeds Sprinkled on Oatmeal
Add a tablespoon of sliced almonds to each bowl.
Add a tablespoon or less of agave nectar with 1/8 cup of the soy creamer to each bowl. (I like mine sweeter, so I add a packet of Xylitol Plus.)
Lastly, add 1/4 cup of the quartered frozen cherries to each bowl.

Love this breakfast! Fixing it is FAST, clean-up is a snap! And it stays with you ALL MORNING!
