A previous blog post focused on the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids to improve symptoms associated with ADHD. The hard part though is eating more foods rich in Omega 3s! Many of these foods are either expensive or hard to cook (like salmon) or honestly, just don’t taste very good. I will be sharing ways to sneak more Omega 3-rich foods into common everyday recipes for a healthy twist that is good for everyone, not just those with ADHD!
Craisin Oatmeal Flax Cookies
In a mixer, mix well:
2/3 cup softened butter or Smart Balance margarine
¾ cup brown sugar
Add 2 eggs, mix well.
In a separate bowl, stir together:
1 ½ cup flour
1 cup oats
1 cup Flax Plus Multibran Flakes (or similar)
Add dry ingredients to butter/sugar/egg mixture slowly while beating to mix thoroughly. Add 1 cup Craisins (or raisins).
Add ½ cup (or more) chopped walnuts (optional)
Spoon onto pan and bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Why this yummy cookie recipe is good for you:
The Flax Multibran Flakes provide Omega 3s and lots of fiber. The oats and craisins (or raisins) provide even more fiber. And the walnuts provide even more Omega 3s. Fiber and Omega 3 fatty acids are good for everyone, not just those with ADHD.
