Oats With Amaranth Chia Seeds And Blueberries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
• Sift flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl; add oats and chia seeds.
• Mix orange juice, applesauce, oil, and eggs together in a bowl; stir into flour mixture until batter is just combined. Fold blueberries into batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling 3/4-full.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a lidded quart container, vigorously whisk together the 1 1/2 cups almond milk, chia seeds, agave and salt. (This ensures the chia seeds are evenly hydrated.) Let the mixture soak in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to overnight, so it develops a rich, creamy texture that is similar to that of rice pudding. If the mixture becomes too thick, whisk in more almond milk.
• While the pudding soaks, heat a small skillet over medium-high. Add the amaranth and cook, shaking the skillet, until the amaranth begins to smell toasty and about half of the seeds have popped, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the amaranth to a plate to cool to room temperature. (Popped amaranth can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and stored in a lidded container in a cool, dark place.)
• To serve, whisk the pudding to incorporate any liquid on top and break up the chia seeds, then spoon pudding into bowls. Top with the berries, popped amaranth and mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the salt, cinnamon, honey and oatmeal. Reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for five minutes or until most of the water has been absorbed. Add the blueberries, orange zest and milk (or alternate beverage). Bring to a simmer, and simmer five more minutes or until the oatmeal is thick and creamy and the blueberries have begun to pop. Cover and let stand for five minutes, then serve.

Steps:

• For the overnight oats: Combine the rolled oats, milk, chia seeds and honey in a mason jar or small bowl. Stir to combine and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours or overnight. When ready to enjoy, stir the oats, add the toppings of your choice if desired and serve.
