Blueberries + Cream Oatmeal

Say what you will, but oatmeal doesn’t have to be bland or boring.

Unless you eat it plain, I suppose. But that’s no fun, now is it? No. There is a better way to eat oatmeal and it starts with adding fresh, sweet and tangy ingredients.

I love oatmeal because there are so many possibilities and flavors you can combine with it. Two of my go-to oatmeal combinations are peanut butter banana and today’s recipe: blueberries, maple syrup, almonds and cream.

The best thing about oatmeal is that it can be ready in a matter of minutes for any number of people. You can even make large batches of it to feed an entire family for breakfast. The only prep time required is spent determining what you put into the oatmeal once it is cooked.

Now, before we talk about topping, let’s talk about the oats. I prefer traditional rolled oats to quick cooking oats. It gives the meal more texture and a real stick-on-your-bones kind of feeling that satisfies for hours. It is also less soupy and more appetizing in my opinion.

As far as toppings go, like I said the possibilities are endless. I’d love to hear from you in the comment section about what you like to mix into your oatmeal!
