Anti-Cancer Oats

anti cnacer oats recipes

I call these Anti-Cancer Oats because of the antioxidant-heavy, micronutrient-rich ingredient list, but I should really call them 'every morning oats'- because that's the truth here. 

​

I make these every. single. morning. Or at least, I did, before I got pregnant and went on the famous pancake bender of 2019.

​

And because I craft this hot pot of goodness so often, I like to make this dish completely customizable to my mood, the season, and what I've got in my fridge at the moment. I change up the nuts, fruit, toppings and sweetness factor regularly. Sometimes I even add a tablespoon of peanut, almond or sunflower butter when I'm feeling wild n' crazy like that.

​

But what remains constant is the fiber-rich, cholesterol-lowering, cancer-combating, thyroid-supporting, hunger-crushing staples. 

​

If you're a volume eater like myself, you'll LOVE this massive bowl of mildy sweet & cinnamony hot-cereal.

​

It's truly the perfect embodiment of the "eat more, weigh less" tagline.

 

Twice the volume, tastes like pie & protective against chronic disease too? Take my money, Quaker.

Prep time: 5 miN

Cook time: 5-7 min

Total time: 10-12 min

serves: 1

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1 cup filtered water or unsweetened non-dairy milk

  • 1 Tbsp ground flax or flax-meal

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • small pinch sea salt

  • 1/2 a medium-sized apple, chopped

  • 2 Brazil nuts, chopped (or 2 Tbsp walnut pieces)

  • seasonal fruit (berries, cherries, figs - or simply ripe banana slices)

  • 1 Tbsp hemp hearts or pumpkin seeds

  • coconut sugar, maple syrup, or chopped dates for topping (optional)

Directions:

Begin by adding the rolled oats, water/milk, ground flax, cinnamon and sea salt in a small pot on the stove over medium heat.

​

While the oats are heating up, chop up the apple into small pieces and add in with the oats and spices. 

 

Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid. 

​

Remove from heat, pour into a large bowl and top with sliced Brazil nuts, seasonal fruit, hemp hearts or pumpkin seeds, and a light sprinkle of coconut sugar (or light drizzle of maple syrup, or chopped dates).
