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.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ½ cup quick or old-fashioned oats
• ½ to ¾ cup water depending on how thick you like your oatmeal
• ½ cup milk of choice I used almond milk
• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice* I used coconut sugar
• 3 Tbsp almond butter
• pinch of salt

Instructions

 

• Add all ingredients into a pot and boil on stovetop (medium heat) until thick and bubbly.
• Let it cool slightly before serving.
• Top with cooked sweet potatoes, chopped pecans and a little maple syrup to taste.
• I also piped a little swirl of shiro-an (sweetened white bean paste) because I had some left over in the fridge, but this is completely optional. The star anise is in the photo but only there for decoration.

Notes

*Coconut, date, or raw/turbinado sugar are less processed granulated sugars I would recommend. Honey and maple syrup should also work, but I have not yet tried. For keto options, you could also use stevia powder (convert according to package directions)
