Scottish Oatmeal with Blueberries, Raw Sunflower Seeds & Maple Syrup

This is one of my favorite breakfasts, especially on a chilly morning.  It's filling, nutritious and so yummy.  Using whole organic oats and natural ingredients here is key.  When you see "quick" or "instant" oats, it means that the grain has been processed, removing the germ and bran which contain the nutrients and fiber.  Also - most table syrup brands like Aunt Jemima, Mrs. Butterworth's etc. use corn syrup and little to no actual maple syrup.  Enjoy your "complete" whole food breakfast! ;)
