This gluten-free chia oatmeal is really simple breakfast that’s delicious and filling. And you can vary it lots of ways with different add-ins.
The basic recipe came from my brother-in-law who is following the low FODMAP diet. He kept telling me how great this breakfast idea was, and when I gave it a try, I had to agree.
Chia Oatmeal
Yield 2 servings
Ingredients
Basic Recipe
- 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- pinch salt (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups water
Add-Ins
- coconut oil (I used 2 teaspoons)
- chopped nuts
- seeds
- fresh or dried fruit
- sweetener
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the basic recipe in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Keep an eye on it so it doesn't dry out. Add a little more water if necessary.)
- Stir in coconut oil and sweetener, if using.
- Stir in or top with any nuts, seeds, or fruit that you desire, and serve.
Eating this again today. This time with sliced bananas. Had it the other day with big blueberries. Excellent breakfast idea!
