What's In Your Oatmeal??

Some chilly mornings, I really enjoy warming up with hot bowl of oatmeal.  Depending on the day, I can enjoy oatmeal in the mornings and in the afternoon. We all know that oatmeal is full of whole grain fiber and is a very satisfying breakfast. But, I must admit that without some creativity, it can get kind of boring..... 

Here are some additions that I've tried that you can do to

liven up your bowl of oatmeal in the mornings.

• - Add a half cup of blueberries, 1 tbls of chopped walnuts, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
• - Diced apple, 1 tablespoon raisins, 5 chopped almonds, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
• - Sliced banana, two tablespoons vanilla yogurt, and one tablespoon walnuts.

or try adding

 

maple syrup, strawberries and whipped cream, apple butter, shredded carrots with raisins and walnuts, flaxseed, dried cranberries, granola, brown sugar, canned pumpkins with pecans, honey and cinnamon, cocoa powder with shredded coconut and almonds

or even put dry uncooked oats in your smoothie.
