If you clicked on this article and immediately thought to yourself, “Oatmeal. Psssssh, what a boring food”, welcome!
Hi, my name is Zoe, aka the “Oatmeal Queen” and I’m here to prove you wrong. Oatmeal isn’t just some mushy, bland substance you force down your throat in the morning. It’s a canvas for culinary art, a sponge for bold flavors and a vehicle for nut butter (one of the main reasons I simply adore this breakfast food!).
So, I challenge you, skeptical internet dweller or fellow foodie, to control yourself from drooling all over your screen and check out these less than boring oatmeal recipes.
Peaches & Cream Coconut Oatmeal
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp dairy-free original coconut creamer
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- Dash of cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
Topped with frozen peaches, fresh blackberries & creamy almond butter
Melt in your mouth goodness. This is it folks! The fruit selection may be outdated, as peaches and blackberries may no longer be in season, however, this bowl is just as delicious in October as it was in the blistering heat of July.
To start, combine the oats and almond milk in a bowl and microwave for 1:00. Remove, stir and add in the creamer and chia seeds. Microwave for another :45 or until the chia seeds thickens the mixture. After removing the bowl from the microwave, fold in the cinnamon and vanilla. Top with a generous serving of almond butter (my favorite), frozen peaches and fresh blackberries. Enjoy
