OATMEAL! Yes, I’m posting a recipe for oatmeal. Maybe it sounds a little boring, but it is far from boring! It’s also super simple and so nice to literally just grab and eat in the morning. I first tried overnight oatmeal a few months ago. Late to the overnight oat party, I know. I scoured Pinterest looking for a recipe that I thought that I’d like and every recipe that I tried was either too sweet or too runny. It took me a few attempts to find the perfect “base” recipe that was the right consistency and the perfect amount of sweetness. And, yes, of course I wanted it to be healthy without feeling like I’m sacrificing on taste.
With this, I just customize the toppings depending on what I have on hand and what I am in the mood for that morning. It’s so good that I actually crave it sometimes, which is just crazy to me! Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
