Apologies for the sad, grainy pictures. I had oatmeal on the brain and I wasn't playing with no photos!
We spiced up my standard oatmeal recipe for two...
...with the dried cherries and vanilla paste that I bought yesterday.Bring 1 banana, 2/3 cup rolled oats, 2/3 soy milk and a pinch of salt to a bubbling boil. Stir vigorously until oats are cooked. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp. cinnamon and 2 tsp. vanilla. Top each serving with 1 tsp. chia seeds and 1 Tbsp. nuts or nut butter.
I did the oatmeal, he was in charge of the coffee. With the power of two early-morning-half-brains, we are a great team.
I had oatmeal this morning too! I topped mine with cooked apples in a cinnamon and brown sugar sauce and dried cranberries. It was sort of like a cranberry-apple oatmeal pie, it was super tasty!
ReplyDeleteI like how my nose managed to sneak into frame here
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so good! Craisins are delicious in oatmeal. I like them put in at the end, though, so they are chewy and not soft/plump (mouthfeel snob here).
ReplyDeleteALSO I am currently eating leftover four-grain flapjacks topped with a cooked apple :)
And Jake, keep your nose outta dis.
I can relate! There are plenty of times food goes undocumented simply bec I'm too hungry for photo op time.
