Want to dress up your oatmeal? Just add a few simple ingredients to turn a basic bowl of oatmeal into a delicious one.
Try it Sweet...
Pumpkin Pie:
Stir in ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree, ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon), and 1 tsp honey.
Chocolate Peanut Butter:
Stir in 1 Tbsp brown sugar, ½ Tbsp cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and 2 Tbsp peanut butter.
Banana Bread:
Stir in a mashed, ripe banana along with a pinch of nutmeg. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar, and nuts.
…Or Savory
Cheddar and Scallion:
Stir in ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese and ¼ teaspoon paprika. Season with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Top with
chopped scallions.
Fried Egg and Avocado:
Serve egg on top of cooked oatmeal. Also top with salsa and slices of avocado.
These are healthier options than store-bought flavored oatmeal packets like apple and cinnamon or strawberries and cream,
which have about 3 teaspoons worth of sugar and artificial ingredients.
