Today was one of those days when I just didn't feel like making an elaborate breakfast for the kids involving baking, frying, etc. So, I decided to go with one of my kids' favorite go-to breakfasts: oatmeal.
If you know me, I am always trying to turn a regular recipe into something that has some extra dosage of veggies and nutrients, not that oatmeal in and of itself isn't already nutritious. But it always makes me feel good inside knowing that my kids get some extra veggies in the food they actually like eating.
This is yet another extremely simple recipe with only 5 ingredients in it. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes. Nothing better than having a
nutritious breakfast on the table in such short amount of time.
This time I used the pear, zucchini, corn gerber baby food puree, but I've used several others as well and they all worked great. Best of all, my kids devoured their oatmeal. For the dried fruits, you can use whatever you feel like or whichever you happen to have. My kids love it with dried plums or raisins.
1 pouch oatmeal
2/3 cup milk
1-2 tablespoons of baby food puree
some brown sugar
dried fruits
Combine
the oatmeal and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 2-3 min until
done. Stir in the baby food puree and some brown sugar to taste. Mix in
some dried fruits of your choice.
