EUROPEAN: Oatmeal

I’ve been playing with the recipes from Jessica Seinfeld, attempting to hide more vegetables in my food. The chocolate cake with beet puree was a disaster, but I am enjoying her oatmeal idea.

• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (we’ve been experimenting with palm sugar)
• 1/4 cup sweet potato puree
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tsp peanut butter
• dried fruit and nuts
• maple syrup

1. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, sweet potato, vanilla, and cinnamon. Bring to a gentle boil and stir in the oatmeal. Reduce the head and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oatmeal is soft and creamy. Stir in the peanut butter.

2. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, topping with dried fruit, nuts, and maple syrup.
