- ⅔ cups rolled oats
- 8 strawberries stems removed
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp ground golden flax seed
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- In a pot, bring 1½ cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the oats and reduce the stove temperature to medium. Occasionally stirring, cook the oats for 6 to 7 minutes until they are tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
- While the oats are cooking, add the strawberries and maple syrup to a blender or food processor and pulse on high until the strawberries are finely chopped into small pieces.
- Once the oats have cooked*, add the strawberries, flax seed, chia seeds and coconut cream to the pot and stir to combine. Heat over medium heat until hot.
- When the oats are hot, slowly pour the beaten egg into the porridge, frequently stirring. Continue to stir the oats until the egg is incorporated and cooked.
- Serve with additional chopped strawberries and coconut cream on top if desired.
Notes
*If you are cooking this for a young baby and need a smoother texture, add the cooked oats into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and the appropriate texture for your baby's developmental stage.
