Description

Make a batch of this cinnamon-scented oatmeal full of dried fruit and seeds, and you'll have enough for feel-good breakfasts all week.

Ingredients

10 cups water
1 cup steel cut oats
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/4 cup chia seeds
3/4 cup goji berries
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

1 Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add oats, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds, whisking well after each addition to prevent clumps. Add goji berries, raisins, cranberries, brown sugar, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oatmeal reaches desired consistency, 40 to 45 minutes.
