Bootcamp Jess & Co Recipe of the Day

What's for Breakfast?!? O.K. I don't have to tell you Breakfast is like the most important meal of the day. Here is a yummy easy meal that will kick start your morning:

Apples And Oats Porridge
(This recipe yields 4 servings)
4 cups water
1 and 1/2 cups oat bran (not oatmeal)
1 large apple - peeled/cored and chopped into very small pieces
1/3 cup raisins
1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
soy milk for serving (optional)

In a large (at least 2 quarts) sauce pan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the the oat bran and allow water to return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for two minutes - stirring often. After two minutes, turn off heat. Stir in the apple, raisins, maple syrup and spices. Let stand until apple pieces soften - about 5 minutes - stirring occasionally. Divide hot cereal evenly among 4 bowls. Serve with the soy milk if desired.

This is kind of like a super delicious homemade Cream of Wheat style hot cereal - but with all the goodness of oat bran.
