Oatmeal
Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast to have during the work week, as it's quick to make and it really fills me up to get through the morning.
I like to use quick-cooking oats, as it only takes a few minutes to cook the oatmeal.
Ingredients
- 0.5 Cups of Quick-Cooking Oatmeal
- 1.25 Cups of Water
- 0.5 Cups of Fresh or Frozen Fruit (Blueberries work best!)
- 1.5 Tablespoons of Unsalted Peanuts (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the oatmeal according to the packaging direction, but add extra water if including frozen fruit later
- Add the frozen fruit to a bowl and pour in the cooked oatmeal; mix thoroughly to get the frozen fruit covered to defrost
- Top with any additional toppings, such as peanuts or cinnamon
Tips
- My favorite oatmeal to use is Organic Sprouted Rolled Oats from One Degree Organic Foods.
- If using frozen fruit, add extra liquid when cooking the oatmeal to help quickly defrost the frozen fruit with the very hot (extra) water.
- If adding peanuts, make sure to use unsalted peanuts, as the salted version does work well in oatmeal.
