Blue Spiralina Oatmeal is scented with a hint of vanilla and served with sweet warm and fresh fruit. A wholesome breakfast or brunch choice, packed with nutrients and oh so delicious. A gluten-free friendly vegan breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 cups  water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp of date paste (recipe here) or 6 whole dates, chopped 
  • 1–2 tsp blue spiralina powder 
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil or vegan butter
  • 1 large banana, sliced into rounds
  • 1 large apple sliced and chopped
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • 5–6 fresh raspberries, halved 
  • plant milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized saucepan add water over high heat until it reaches a slow boil. 
  2. Add oats, vanilla and chopped dates (if using), pinch of salt and stir. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 mins. Remove lid and stir. If oats are too liquid, cook for 2-3 more minutes. If oats are too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water to thin.
  3. While the oats are cooking, heat a medium size sauté pan over medium/low heat. Add 1 tbsp of oil and sliced apple to one side of the pan. If your banana is firm add it along with the apple. If ripe wait 2-3 minutes to add to the pan. Sauté stirring occasionally until apples and bananas are golden brown on each side. Remove from heat then sprinkle with cinnamon. This will prevent it from burning. Set aside.
  4. Once the oats are thick and creamy remove from heat and stir in date paste if not using whole dates.  Add blue spiralina 1/2 tsp at a time until desired color is reached. 
  5. Divide oatmeal into 2 bowls. Top with warm apples, bananas and fresh strawberries. 
  6. Serve with plant milk if desired.

Notes

*Add spiralina at the end of cooking stage to maintain the nutrients.

*Save extra warm fruit to use on top of vegan ice cream.

*Store leftover in the fridge for up to 4 days.
