Ever since I posted my Homemade Pumpkin Spice video<\/a>, and suggested that the spice mix would make a great oatmeal topping, I’ve had requests for a post on just how I make perfect oatmeal! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oatmeal is a staple breakfast for me, I eat it at least a few times a week. I notice a real difference in the productivity of my morning when oatmeal is a part of my routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to use wholegrain rolled oats to make oatmeal and only water. I add a splash of almond milk at the end, but only water during the cooking process. The reason for this is that milk has a very low burning temperature, so it’s easy for your oatmeal to get a nasty burned tang to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By adding the almond milk at the very end, you can avoid scalding the milk, so the oatmeal still gets that beautiful creaminess, with none of the burnt flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oatmeal is a great “blank canvas” recipe. It adapts beautifully to sweet or savory toppings. I love adding slices of avocado because it adds to the creaminess and provides some healthy fats. Raspberries, add some sweetness and a tang. If you want it to be a little sweeter, add a drizzle of honey, or maple syrup to keep it vegan! If you prefer your oatmeal without sugar, I have tips on how to make oatmeal taste good without sugar<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
