Even though it's summertime, I'm still enjoying my warm morning oats. Every day! Without fail. One of my favorite oatmeal concoctions lately is my pumpkin oats. I add a big scoop of pumpkin puree, a spoonful of chunky natural peanut butter, and then sweeten it with a drizzle of blackstrap molasses.
Oh melty peanut butter goodness! PB with oats is THE PERFECT combination, agree? And the pumpkin puree makes you feel like you're eating pumpkin pie. I actually get sad when the bowl is empty.
Here's another bowl of yummy oatmeal I had for breakfast this week. Instead of the pumpkin puree, I threw in a frozen banana while cooking the oats. I love cooking the banana in the pot along with the oats because heating the banana enhances the sweetness and dissolves it to add a crave-worthy creamy texture! And for some vitamin C, I had some fresh kiwi on the side. Such a tummy-happy way to start my day.
