How do you like to prepare your oatmeal?
With maple syrup and brown sugar? With cinnamon? With Fruit? Or maybe Savory?
I love oatmeal because there are so many ways you can eat them. I also love it because it's associated with heart health, lowered cholesterol, blood sugar, obesity and digestive health. And because it's so high in fiber, it keeps you full longer.
Now that fall is officially here I've been craving oatmeal again, and this quick and easy recipe has been all I've been eating these past few days.
Here's how you can make it, too.
