ALMOND BUTTER OATMEAL WITH SWEET POTATO & PECAN
Warm, sweet and creamy, the almond butter oatmeal is a delicious morning treat that incorporates all my favorite flavors of fall like sweet potato, maple syrup and pecans.
Ingredients
- 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)
