A Perfect Bowl of Oats for Breakfast

Healthy and Delicious

I love switching up breakfasts; after all variety matters nutritionally.

But on cold winter mornings, there’s nothing as satisfying as a warm bowl of oatmeal. I’ve raised my kids on this recipe and hands down it’s everyone’s favorite.

And the great thing about oatmeal — with all the topping variations, it’s hardly ever the same bowl.
