Plant-Based Purple Oats with Polly!

[@DeadbyDaylightDUO]

OMGosh!!! I think I watched the first 30 seconds of this video 10 times! I absolutely love you guys! It was so hilarious seeing Ann get so excited and saying her daughter in law was her mother in law! Thank you so much for brightening our days!!! ❤️😃

[@valeriee3039]

Love meeting all the members of the Esselstyn family!!!

[@plantbaseddaria5402]

I have oats every morning with mashed banana, frozen blueberries, strawberries, mango, cherries, ground flax, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds 😋

[@Francine76]

I love seeing different members of the family share their recipes. And I love oatmeal!

[@jenwick8708]

Oh Anne and Jane! Bless your hearts, you get rattled and confused so quickly. Calm down and try not to get so over excited. The DAUGHTRR IN LAW seems to bring in a nice calm energy. I like her idea for purple oats. Going to try this tomorrow 😊

[@mrs.broccoli4362]

in Germany, we have two types of chinnamon: cassia and Ceylon cinnamon. We always habe purple oats, cause I use Aroniaberries. They have the highest amount of anthocyiane. Greetings from Germany.

[@tosca...]

Lol, we use cassia as a possum deterrent here in Australia. You sent me looking up aronia berries. They are only just being introduced in Australia and are not widely available. They are from the rose family and, better known as choke berries, they hail from North America and are naturalised in Europe these days. Will have to hunt them down! 😊

Ladies this is amazing, I literally have almost the same recipe that I eat everyday for breakfast. Everyday after I drink a glass of lemon water. This is my recipe~ oats, cooked with water, frozen blueberries and frozen cherries= purple oats, added a small banana cut up, chia seeds/flax, cinnamon, ground ginger, with a few sprinkles of walnuts! Sometimes just a dash of maple syrup if I'm feeling a little more sweet. But that's it, my everyday go to purple oats! Funny how minds can think alike.😊 Enjoy

[@michaelscoots]

I’ve been making whole grain oats (groats) for almost a decade. To me the flavor and texture exceeds all other types. Plus, they’re less processed- you can take a grain and put it in soil and it will sprout. Try them with your favorite fixings - you won’t be disappointed.

[@julieharden2433]

I use Ceylon cinnamon which is a much more cinnamon-y taste, but at the same time milder.

[@kimlee2995]

I have never had savory oats, so I had to try Ann’s recipe. I fix sweet oats with bananas all the time. I had to steady my self to try something totally different and I am so glad I did. This will be my go to quick meal for evenings when I am too tired to cook. Great idea! Thank you ladies.

[@Scor-ah]

Always a pleasure to watch you girls cook and laugh

[@annerudziensky9313]

I thought purple oats were going to be some weird ancient grain I had never heard of! Ha ha Glad to know they aren't weird afterall!

[@cpdoorbell]

Polly is amazing! Love this recipe and enjoyed learning about cinnamon from the connoisseur of spice. Such a delicious recipe. The cherries are a hit! Thank you. We love seeing the family members on the show. An inspiring group.

[@CharGC123]

I'm a weirdo and dislike sweets breakfast, so my oats are almost always savory and sometimes purple too! I cook up a big batch of oat groats porridge in the Instant pot using veggie broth and add lentils, grated red cabbage and beets, onions, grated carrot, cauli-rice, spinach, whatever, and sprinkle on nutritional yeast when it's done. Sounds strange but I love it!

[@SpringFlowers537]

Sounds like a breakfast from south India called sambar😋 So good!

[@moladhdodhia164]

Sounds fabulous to me,thank you, can't wait to try.

[@CastledarkDweller27]

@@moladhdodhia164 me toooooooo!

[@ironrose888]

I like my oatmeal with lots of garlic and flaxseed meal…. And with greens….kale or spinach.

[@karendeeble121]

We put tsp of cinnamon, .5 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tsp of cardamom and tsp of ginger inot our oats which really does give it a lovely flavour. Have never used frozen cherries but will try it from now on. Thanks

[@nazokashii]

Loooove cinnamon so much :) thank you for sharing, was very nice getting to meet Polly :D you're wonderful and lovely as always

[@joelleaittama1416]

This is exactly how I make my rolled oats. Blueberries and tart cherries, and Cinnamon when I cook it.

[@racheliza7604]

Delicious , thank you! Polly’s Purple Porridge , 😋

[@tosca...]

In Australia, and I think in most places, we call royal cinnamon "Dutch cinnamon". Historically a lot of common spices were taken to northern Europe by the Dutch who occupied Indonesia as a colonial power. This is the first time I've heard of royal cinnamon. But, I put cinnamon and fresh ground nutmeg in my oats every day. NB: Cherries are good for peeps with arthritis

[@marjiesgirl]

Thank you Tosca for your hint about Cherries. I suffer from severe arthritis so will definitely try this. I love using Cinnamon in my vegan cooking to add flavour. By the way, I'm also from Australia - Melbourne actually. Stay safe.

[@kevinmonceaux2101]

What timing!! I just recently came over to the steel cut oats side. I was on vacation last week, and thought I had more rolled oats in stock then I actually had. I ran out of rolled oats before I ran out of vacation. Fortunately I had some steel cut oats in stock, though I had only tried cooking them once or twice before with less than ideal results. I discovered the overnight method, and have been eating them ever since. I brought steel cut oats and water to a boil, cover and removed from heat, and left them overnight. The next morning I had slightly soupy oats with a little tooth left to them, just the way I like them. This week returning to work I discovered if I start a batch of oats as soon as I get home from work, they're ready to portion up just before I go to bed. This video has given me some ideas on some variations to try. There was a time when I would have never believed running out of oats would be cause for concern.

[@missiris1234]

My 2 year old granddaughter loves her rolled oats with bananas, blueberries and flaxseed and of course some cinnamon 😛

[@louisedavies3928]

I do put frozen black cherries in my oats ...yes...delicious

[@Walkinfaith12]

Ann was so embarrassed hilarious 😂

[@marysmith7765]

I make this with just frozen cherries and fresh apple pieces. Definitely doesn’t need sugar. I have a teeny nutmeg grater I got for like $5, best investment ever if you like savory food.

[@lisanow6856]

Making this now in my Instant Pot! Will add the fruit at the end.

[@epicmintleaves]

Thank you for another great recipe! The combination of the berries and cherries sounds cool. I will try it!

[@claranimmer7349]

I‘m sure I will love Purple Oats. Thank you for the recipe.

[@brendafarris7350]

Lovely! I also enjoy my steel cut oats chewy!

[@Abuelitahere]

Thanks again ladies for sharing. 😊

[@lindab.716]

I cook my steel cut oats with 1/4 pumpkin then add blueberries, chia, flax and hemp hearts. Serve with some chopped walnuts and cinnamon. Yum 😋

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

I do this with buckwheat minus the spices. Just using berries. Nice video with spices to add.

[@beatricemillar6802]

I am going to make my oatmeal like this tomorrow. Thanks Bea

[@suzyq6767]

I can’t wait to try this recipe. I am a cinnamon freak. Plus, I love all the other ingredients. Thanks, and it was nice to meet Holly.

[@cathym3708]

I like to make my steel cut oats for the week in my pressure cooker. I take mine to work in a mug with chopped walnuts and dates. I have frozen cherries and blueberries (fresh picked from my orchard earlier this year) so I will definitely try this! 😁

[@audither]

I still cut out the same way, but I’ve never put in cherries, but I will do that tomorrow Y’all are so funny and I really truly enjoy watching these videos

[@peterbassel6888]

Yet another great video! Well done & Thanks. I get the colour differently. I cook oat, barley, rye groats/berries with some forbidden (black) rice in the instant pot for 24 minutes and the grainy porridge come out with a purple colour. Even if the groats/berries are soft this is still a very chewy porridge which makes it all the more interesting to eat. Adding berries is also a great add-in. Enjoy.

[@lilianagriseldaszachury1843]

Nice recipe, thank you 😊 I love you ladies 🥰😍😘

[@lyndadunckel9152]

Love it! Its similar to what I make but mine is OVER THE MOON ! I call mine The Swamp! ❤️ it’s a powerhouse of nutrition! 😋

[@JaneEsselstyn]

Great name for your oats!!!

[@ironrose888]

I put 2 cups of frozen triple berries in my oats. I’m going to switch to steel cut oats instead of rolled oats. I like the crunch.

[@dawnmackay3394]

I also add unsweetened coconut, excited to try cherries! ❤️

[@misterincreds5341]

I just recently tried steel cut oats and WOW!! I like them sooooo much better. I do mine similar to this but haven't thought about Goji berries. Awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@paullemay3218]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been making oats (large flake organic) in a Pyrex bowl in a steamer basket. I have been enjoying blueberries and raspberries and either chopped dates or date paste for sweetness. I will give goji berries or goji berry powder a try. I sometimes eat oats for dinner as well. I will be trying steel cut oats next using the same steamer process. I hope everyone enjoys their oats no matter how you prepare them. ❤️🇨🇦💚💪🌱

[@traceykaminski7874]

Can't wait to try Royal Cinnamon!💜🤩💜

[@patrickmartel3169]

I do very similar, but add finely chopped kale, cilantro and parsley along with chopped dates, sooo good ... lol

[@OpenSesame33]

I wonder how a little vanilla would be along with the cinnamon and ginger.

[@heatheranderson7447]

We always add vanilla to our oats!

[@DavidWischnewski]

I do oat groats with Trader Joe's cherry blend and flax meal daily. I season with cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

[@traceykaminski7874]

I have been rocking the purple oats. Thanks Ladies! 🤩 Where can I get the Royal cinnamon?

[@vilmabock478]

😊 "One big Cherry" 🍒

[@vanessalew7508]

I always put réduire cherries because it sweetens naturally and i add à little vanilla

[@AvocadoEaters]

My oats turn purple when I add wild black cherries (Prunus serotina). I forage them, as also some other wild berries, then pass them through a food mill and freeze the berries purree in ice cubes forms, to be added later to my porridge.

[@LB-xk6fk]

Fantastic!!

[@brandilynn]

I love savory oats ! I nuke up gumbo veggies and then put my oats with nooch in there, pour in the boiling water and let them sit for some minutes. BREAKFAST STUFFING! :}

[@7peacefrog]

This looks really good! But where did you get such a big bag of goji berries? Thanks for sharing this :)

[@angelikablossfeld5427]

They have them at Costco

[@kathy.7475]

I make purple oats with huckleberries or wild blueberries. I've never seen gogi berries at my local grocery stores.

[@alidapc]

Lately, I put raisins, frozen strawberries & spices in my oatmeal.

[@sarahpamula778]

Jane, you and your mom have a "corner on the market" when it comes to a cooking show with medical genius, add some British literature references and a new need as a hit on American television! Are you familiar with the Budwig diet? I know someone who swears by it? The Kitchen Culture of "Jane and Ann".

[@phaxad]

I wish my whole family would do the WFPB diet lifestyle with me.

[@sarahpamula778]

Fun. As I wait for Charlie Baker to "Get out of my house" to quote Shawn Colvin and have no money until next month again, and Republicans let children starve to death in Houston, this is going to be fun to watch. Polly, can't wait to see Zeb's masterpieces!

[@kirineckert208]

Why don't you add the flax and chia in while it's cooking?

[@Scor-ah]

because it becomes a gelatinous mess

[@CastledarkDweller27]

Just to keep the alliteration going ladies, i'd call it POLLY'S PURPLE PORRIDGE : )

[@CastledarkDweller27]

PS.... in answer to your question...i always throw riced cauliflower in with my oats while they cook, & sometimes grated zucchini too... cos you cant taste them amongst all the berries! I like to see the pretty green flecks of zucc skin in my porridge, but if my veges are working undercover (for fussy childrens breakfasts) i'll peel the zucc first before grating. Then when u ladle out purple porridge all full of fruit.....both the cauli & zucchini are undetectable!

[@stayingtrue7700]

Hey, you have the same spoon rest as me 😉

[@afsipena4138]

I added raspberries too 😌 Delicious 😋 Thank you !

[@Gio_Vanni6143]

I can remember back in yhe 1970s, when the United States switched over from Ceylon cinnamon to Cassia because of cost (like everything else.) I don't know if it is correct and true, but i have read that Ceylon cinnamon is good for your kidneys and liver, whereas too much of Cassia cinnamon is not. Cassia has 63 times the amount of coumarin (a blood thinner) than Ceylon.

[@Cicerosings]

I know it as either Saigon Cinnamon or Ceylon Cinnamon.

[@clairemullin9679]

Do you ever use oak milk on your cereal?

[@sarahpamula778]

Is that a Williams Sonoma pan?

[@ginduf]

i prefer veggies and curry spices in my savory oatmeal instead of the sweet, though my husband will probably like it. i think i have most of the ingredients, i've got currents and dates too so i'll experiment with what he likes best. cassia, the the stuff that they sell as cinnamon in stores has a compound (coumarin) that is detrimental to a person like me who has liver problems so i avoid the stuff.

[@tonymaurice4157]

I'm suffering with lower back pain I went raw vegan a few weeks ago still have bad pain is there anything else I can do?

[@kimberlyelkins4964]

Anne is so silly....

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

My go-to fall/winter oats is steel cut oats boiled with a few raisins then mixed with a mashed roasted sweet potato (skin & all), ground flax, cinnamon & ginger - but the other day I was out of raisins and tossed in some frozen berries and ended up with something pretty tasty.
