I’m always looking for quick, easy and healthy breakfasts. Because, let’s be honest, cold cereal gets old real fast. And I’ve already explained my complicated relationship with eggs.
I want something filling and tasty and not full of sugar. This oatmeal definitely fits the bill. It’s not the quickest, but this usually lasts in our family for 2 days. It keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge. Then just reheat with some milk in the morning.
This breakfast is also perfect for those mornings where you’ve got lots of people to feed. Give it a try this holiday season, on a cold morning to warm you up!
