From the Mouth of a Kid:
It tastes like a cookie, and I get to eat it for breakfast. My mom is the best!
From the Eyes of a Parent:
Finding a way to get my kids to eat a nutritious breakfast is a monotonous task, especially when they are begging for sugary cereal every morning. They put their nose up at a bowl of oatmeal or whole wheat toast, but when these breakfast ovals entered the kitchen they became a hit! The kids gobble them up because its tastes like a cookie, and I am happy to know they have clean and wholesome ingredients, a good amount of fiber, and 20 grams of whole grains. They not only are great for breakfast but also for an easy after-school snack.

]]>Want to know a secret? We know a way you can make mornings extra nutritious…with no extra effort or time! Here at The Creative Kitchen, we love using One Degree Organics Organic Sprouted Oats for one of our favorite, go-to recipes for busy mornings: overnight oats! Not only is it easy to customize oats to the specific palates you’re serving, but these sprouted oats boast more nutrients and are easier to digest than non-sprouted oats. Sprouting oats breaks down the phytate (a form of phytic acid) and some of the starch, which makes the percentage of nutrients available for absorption higher! It’s a win-win for everyone!
The Creative Kitchen is excited to feature One Degree Organics Organic Sprouted Oats in our Whole Foods Market cooking class on Thursday, December 13! Learn more at www.thecreativekitchen.com/cal
From the Mouth of a Kid:
I like to help my mommy make this oatmeal! I add strawberries and blueberries to mine! It’s yummy and feels good in my tummy!
From the Eyes of a Parent:
One Degree Organics Organic Sprouted Oats are just what I’ve been looking for! With a number of different palates in our house, it’s sometimes hard to find something that everyone will enjoy eating. With oatmeal, my kids can add in different nut and seed butters, fruit, and other toppings, making it a truly nutritious breakfast. Now, I use these specific oats because they’re organic and sprouted, which means my kids are getting more nutrients each time they eat these oats! They’re also easier for my kids to digest than regular oats, which makes all of us feel better about using these specific oats.
Flavorful Features:
One Degree Organics Organic Sprouted Oats are available in three varieties: quick oats, rolled oats, and steel cut oats.
The Icing on the Cake:
These oats are oh-so good for you! Each serving is:
- Organic
- Sprouted
- More vitamins and minerals (iron, vitamin C, folate, zinc, magnesium, protein)
- Easier to digest
- Gluten-free
- Non – GMO
- Supports a family farm!
Time to Eat?!
One Degree Organics Organic Sprouted Oats are perfect for breakfast on busy mornings -OR- to add into dinner recipes like meatloaf!
Mix it Up!
Use these oats in baking to create healthier, gluten-free treats! For example, try these out in your favorite Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe for a high protein and organic treat for the whole family!

Spend time with your family not in the kitchen this holiday season. Our friends at Cooking Light have created recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner that are simple to prepare, can feed a crowd and are sure to please even the pickiest of palates.
Slow Cooker Sausage and Squash Lasagna
We were surprised and delighted by how well lasagna cooks up in the slow cooker. Be sure to use traditional noodles, and place them in the cooker uncooked. We tried the recipe with specially formulated no-bake noodles, and they didn’t work as well.
Click here, for the recipe.
Creamy White Bean Soup with Smoked Ham Hocks
Creamy, starchy, and filling, this hearty, rustic soup is the epitome of comfort. And convenient: Beans go in dry—no need to soak.
Click here, for the recipe.
Hearty Oats and Grains
When you have a house full of holiday guests who’d enjoy a wholesome, hearty breakfast at their own pace, the slow cooker can come to your rescue. Get it going first thing, and let folks serve themselves when they’re ready to eat.
Click here, for the recipe.
Classic Slow Cooker Beef Stew
A nutty dark beer adds richness and depth to the stew. Be careful not to choose a beer that’s super-hoppy; it will taste too bitter. To get 2 pounds of trimmed meat, you’ll probably need to purchase a 2 1/2-pound roast.
