Oatmeal by itself is good. Easily delicious. Its creamy, chewy, cinnamony-sweet flavor delights me with every bite.
BUT…oatmeal with fun toppings? Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! ;)
Today’s bowl ‘o oats started with a pretty typical base:
-1/3 cup oats
-1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
-1/3 cup water
-1/2 sliced banana
-golden raisins
-cinnamon & nutmeg
But THEN, it was time to get fancy!
Toppings for today:
-1 small scoop Maple PB
-1 warmed up, crumbled slice Blueberry Banana bread :mrgreen:
-sprinkle of granola
This was easily one of the best bowls of oats I’ve made in a while, and I blame it totally on the blueberry banana bread. Once it gets mixed into the oats, it gets so moist! And this way, I get the satisfaction of enjoying the bread, while also getting the filling fiber & protein of the oatmeal…it’s a WIN-WIN! :-D
I’ll leave you this morning with some pretty flowers to start your day!
Question for the Morning:
What’s your favorite type of flower?
I honestly don’t know all that much about flowers, but I do love cala lillies (they were in my wedding bouquets) & roses (but not red ones, too typical…give me some flashy yellow, soft white, or even better…purple ones!)

I love Orchids and starbursts. they remind me of our wedding on the beach.

Pimped out oatmeal is the best. I’m a big fan of cereal to top is- apparently I attempt to fit in as many carbs as possible in my breakfast… lol
I’m a fan of orchids. I love how delicate and elegant they look!

Carbs + Breakfast = HEAVEN! ;)

Heather (Where's the Beach) says
Gorgeous flowers. My favorite flower is a rose. Love changing up oatmeal toppings. I love bananas, peanut butter, and sugar-free strawberry jam with mine. Somehow it’s comforting.
Courtney says
Oh my gosh, why have I not thought to add strawberry jam?!?!? YUMM!!!
Kelly says
Your oatmeal looks fabulous! My favorite flower is a peony…that was my wedding flower! Unfortunately they don’t last very long!
Holly at Greek Yogurt and Apple Slices says
