Power Breakfast Bowl

September 25, 2014 By Aubrie Cornelius

After yesterday’s sugar-filled post, I decided to give our sweet teeth a break with this nutrient-packed breakfast bowl (it all works out in the end, right?). And it’s a breakfast that is DEFINITELY worth waking up for.

I mean, check out that fruit! And that’s not even the best part. To make this breakfast extra satisfying I made TWO different types of steel-cut oatmeal for this.  I’ll give you a hint… one includes 70% dark cocoa! I mean, right?! (I guess I didn’t totally forget my sweet tooth on this one, whoops!)

And I haven’t even touched on the homemade granola yet! It has a pinch of cinnamon, maple syrup (as a natural sweetener), and coconut oil (instead of butter) and, that’s not even going into the secret ingredients I added for extra “staying” power!

Flaxseeds and chia seeds!  Unusual, maybe, but I promise they work! Just smelling this mixture before it went into the oven was heavenly.  Your house is going to smell SO good!

What You'll Need
  • I. Granola
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (at room temp)
  • ¼ cup flax seed
  • ¼ cup chia seed
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 TBS. vanilla extract
  • II. Oatmeal
  • 4 cups cooked steel-cut oatmeal (read package instructions for details)
  • 2 TBS. dark cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • ¼ cup almond milk (I used vanilla flavored)
  • ¼ cup raspberries
  • 1 ripe mango, sliced
  • 1 banana sliced
Instructions
  1. I. Granola
  2. Preheat the oven to 300. In a medium sized bowl, add the dry granola ingredients and mix together. Add the coconut oil and, using a spatula, incorporate it into the dry ingredients. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and place on a baking sheet (I lined mine with parchment to prevent sticking) and place granola into the oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. II. Oatmeal
  4. Separate the oatmeal into two small bowls. Into one, simply add the vanilla almond milk and top with the finished granola and fruit of your choosing.
  5. In the other bowl, add the dark cocoa powder and honey. Mix well. Then top with granola and fruit. (TIP: I also added additional flaxseed to the top)
