How to Make Creamy Oatmeal

The key to getting a creamy, not-gluey bowl of oatmeal is using enough water. Cooking oatmeal in milk tends to make a stickier, thicker oatmeal. If preferred you can add a splash of almond milk or regular milk to your oatmeal.

Healthy Toppings for Oatmeal

• Fruit – banana, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Dried fruit
• Granola
• Hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds.
• Nuts – almonds, pecans.
• Peanut butter or almond butter.
• Cocoa nibs or dark chocolate chips

Tips for Making Peanut Butter Oatmeal

• For extra crunch/texture, add your favorite nuts or seeds – this peanut butter oatmeal is so versatile when it comes to the toppings.
• If you don’t want to use peanut butter, you can swap for cashew butter or almond butter.
• Use honey or coconut sugar as your sweetener if you don’t have agave.

The great this about thing about this oatmeal is it’s packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants. All good things that you want to start your day with! It’s also a filling, healthy breakfast that takes no time at all to make.
