Cooking Tips:

* For ease, I usually make the oatmeal in a larger batch (1 cup oats + 4 cups water + 1/2 tsp salt). Then I will use pre-cooked oats throughout the week and heat over the stove.

* I add the chia seeds, half of the walnuts, goji berries, flax and cinnamon halfway through the cooking process if making in a large batch. Otherwise, add the pre-cooked oats to a pan with a splash of soy or water to rehydrate a bit. Then fold those ingredients into the oats. Simmer until warm and soft. Add more liquid as desired.

* I top the cooked oats with walnuts, the blueberries, a few more chia seeds, a splash of soy milk and agave right before serving.
