This recipe can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled... as you need! In order to eat a truly healthy meal, I always encourage you to purchase as many organic ingredients as possible, but because apples and berries are amongst the fruits and veggies that contain the most pesticide residues, I highly recommend you buy only organic apples and berries.

Ingredients

  • 1 organic apple washed and sliced
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil (or a small piece of grass-fed butter if you are not vegan or have a dairy allergy)
  • 1 Tbsp raisins
  • 1/2 cup rolled oat flakes (not the instant kind)
  • 1/2 cup rice milk or nut milk
  • 2 Tbsp raw walnuts
  • 1 Tbsp raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp hemp hearts
  • 1 Tbsp kasha (roasted buckwheat seeds)
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup to drizzle
  • 1/4 cup organic berries or seasonal fruits (a handful)

Instructions

  1. In a small pot on medium heat, warm the olive oil (or butter, if using). Add the apple slices and cook for 2-3 minutes, without turning too often, until they look soft and gently roasted.
  2. Add the raisins if using, mix, and cook for 1 more minute (this will rehydrate them and make them soft and delicious).
  3. Add the oat flakes and the milk, mix well. If it looks too dry, feel free to add a bit more milk, but not too much. Reduce the temperature to medium-low, put a lid on it, and cook for 5 minutes (feel free to mix once about halfway through).
  4. Remove from the heat, add the walnuts and pumpkin seeds, mix well.
  5. Serve immediately and sprinkle the kasha and hemp hearts on top, and drizzle with a bit of maple syrup (it doesn't need much).
  6. Enjoy!
