what are your favorite ways to eat oatmeal?
I'm currently drinking my oatmeal right now... I use my coffee bean grinder and grind it to a powder and put it in my green smoothie's every morning. So healthy and so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI keep wanting to try the overnight oats and then always forget!
I have oatmeal every morning. It's my breakfast staple!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I go through stages of oatmeal, and I'm a big fan of apples, cinnamon, and either almonds or pecans. I like a little crunch :) I also just saw a recipe on pinterest that I want to try. It's for banana muffins, but made with oats instead of flour! I may share it after I try them out :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try the chilled oatmeal. I've had it at a restaurant before and really liked it, so now I have a recipe! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI never even thought about oatmeal being chilled. This is perfect. I normally don't have time for breakfast at home in the morning, so I have to eat at work. This I could bring to work with me! Yum!
ReplyDeleteYum! This sounds delicious. I eat oatmeal every morning and never get sick of it, but it's always in the instant oats bags since I don't have much time before work. I've heard so much about the overnight oats I definitely want to try these!
ReplyDeleteI love overnight oats! I haven't made them in so long though, but you just reminded me of how great they are! My favorite is baked oatmeal, I make it every weekend!
ReplyDeleteI used to do overnight oats ALL THE TIME when I ate dairy. I stopped eating grains for breakfast and haven't had this in ages! It's so good though, and I love how you can switch it up in so many ways with so many different flavors!
