Remember last week when I was pancake crazy? Well. I’m back in an oatmeal rut.
Almond milk, cinnamon, bananas, peanut butter & maple syrup.
Rules for oatmeal (slash life):
- No playing favorites.
- Editing is not necessary (and often discouraged).
- Go big or go home.
- The more the merrier.
You get the idea right? I like lots of toppings. And I like them all together.
Of course I can’t forget to mention the principles of frugality:
- Waste not, want not.
- Never leave a man behind.
- A penny saved, is a penny earned.
All of which I put to good use when I see an almost done jar of nut butter.
Oats rule.
go big or go home is usually my motto when it comes to food. Dinky bagels make me sad.
I love putting oats in old nut butter jars! I also love mixing egg whites into my oats when they are cooking: extra protein!
Hi Elise,
I found your site a couple of days ago and have been loving it. In all honesty, I haven’t closed it yet, I just keep hopping around from one thing to the other (not in a creepy stalker way… like a happy stalker, lol)
I’m actually about to venture into the world of steel cut oats myself. I like oatmeal, but I get bored easily and I think slow cooking it in different flavors will help that. Plus, the steel cut are better for me.
Any advice? Do you use steel cut?
what an insanely delicious bowl of oats! oh my gosh! it’s making me hungry! i love PB, cinnamon, and banana together…mmm….go big or go home is right!
I heart my oats! I agree, the more the merrier!
I just discovered that I can cook my steel-cut oats in my slow-cooker. Now I can awaken with my oatmeal ready to eat! Tomorrow I am going shopping to collect my favorite toppings: peanut butter, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, chocolate chips, bananas…
They sure do!
