Birdie oatmeal

[EnglishMuffin]

Just thought I would share my latest meal that gets my little monster all worked up.

I lately bought some steal cut oats and started making oatmeal for myself every morning. While the oats are cooking, near to completion, I stir in a big handful of chia seeds, flax seeds, frozen blueberries and a few hefty dashes of cinnamon. Sootie absolutely goes nuts for it and it's such a healthy breakfast for both of us!

I sprinkle over some chopped nuts at the end. The best thing is I can keep it varied by stiffing in some peanut butter, carob chips, mashed banana or anything like that to mix it up so we don't get bored!

I know this thread is old but I wanted to thank you for your recipe! I ran out of chopped and I had to fix something else this morning... I did a Google search for birdie oatmeal in this was the first thing came up. I made it with almond milk and also add some collard greens and shaved cuttlebone. Kiwi wasn't sure at first but he ended up really liking it... Thanks again!

If you want something else that's also super easy and cheap, try Bob's Red Mill 10 grain cereal. I make this every once in a while for myself and the fids.

Most everything old is new again, thanks for resurrecting this thread!!

Most of my fids love oatmeal, and I have gotten creative with mixing in other cereals. Hadn't thought of adding veggies! Will try this with the dark leafy greens they usually toss!

The pretty chicken loves oatmeal! Especially with a few red pepper flakes mixed in. I'll definitely have to try adding other stuff in, maybe I can actually get her to eat some banana that way. She guards her oatmeal like other birds guard their nests.
