Almond Butter and Maple Oatmeal
Disclaimer: this isn’t a recipe so much as an epically delicious way to eat a bowl of oatmeal. But it really is too good not to share, especially when it’s the middle of winter and mornings are so cold and dark. This is such a comforting, healthy breakfast, and easy to prepare too.
Almond Butter Maple Oatmeal
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
1 cup quick Irish oatmeal
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 banana, sliced
Prepare oatmeal according to instructions on packaging. (We use quick Irish oatmeal.) Once oatmeal is cooked, pour into bowls. Drizzle each bowl with almond butter and maple syrup. Top with banana and strawberry slices, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I also love to top with raw almonds for a fantastic crunch.
This is such a satisfying breakfast that keeps me full and energized all morning. Enjoy!
