Our Daily Breakfast

We got this recipe from Normand LeBlanc at Healthy Concept in Dieppe. He eats this for breakfast, and we do too, now!

Our Daily Breakfast
Prep time: 8 minutes
Cook time: 6 minutes
Serves: 2

1 cup organic rolled oats
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup natural plain yogurt
1/4 cup 100% pure maple syrup
fresh fruit, cut up to desired amount

1. Place oats and water into a medium saucepan on medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly, allowing oats to cook. Stir often until oatmeal is finished.

2. Divide the oatmeal evenly between two cereal bowls.

3. Top each bowl of oatmeal with half the yogurt.

4. Now drizzle half the maple syrup over each bowl.

5. Finally, top with your desired fruit (we like bananas and berries best) and serve.

  • Lynn, have you guys found a cheaper way of buying the pure maple syrup? It is SO expensive!

  • It is more expensive than the imitation syrup. It must be more so where you are. We haven't even tried to use anything else because there is no other option worth eating. The only other sweetener we use is raw honey. That actually might not be bad....

  • Nevertheless, pure maple syrup's decadent sweetness is worth the coinage!!!!! :-)

  • Hey, tried this one out and really enjoyed it - though not too keen on plain yogurt, so left it out. The first day, I couldn't keep Mya out of my bowl, I was actually struggling with her over it trying to grab my bowl back in an effort to put some of mine into hers. SOooooo....now we eat it every morning together! She loves it too!

    On a side note, this recipe makes for 2. I cut it in half, made it for one, and still found it was a lot. Mya and I share a recipe that 'feeds 1'. This is a hearty and filling breakfast!!
