Looking for healthy oatmeal recipes? Well here is a start. Oatmeal is supposedly heart healthy, and a good addition to our diet.
I just returned from a trip to visit my son and daughter-in-law, and they served up some awfully good oatmeal breakfasts. I am not accustomed to eating a lot of oatmeal, but have since then decided it would be a healthy change. One of my favorite oatmeal breakfasts was simply cooking oatmeal in milk and adding some coconut. What a creamy rich tasting breakfast.
One of my favorite ways to eat oatmeal is with sliced peaches. It is absolutely delicious. Since I am always trying to cut back on my sugar intake, this option of adding peaches or other fruits take place of adding sugar. Another breakfast favorite is our whole wheat oatmeal pancakes with blueberry’s. So delicious! I will post this recipe below.
I recently ran across an article by myfitnesspal that I did not want to loose, so have chosen to add it to this post, so I will always have this link. The article is entitled “15 Ways to Make Delicious Oatmeal”.
Also in my searching for delicious oatmeal recipes, I came across this post from somethingsswanky, “75 Delicious Ways to Eat Oatmeal for Breakfast“. I can’t wait to try some of these recipes. Maybe I will set a goal to try a new oatmeal recipe 3 times a week for the next month or so. Please comment if you have a favorite oatmeal recipe that you would like to share.
