Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled or steel-cut oats
  • 2 cups milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen fruits (apples, berries, or bananas)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons nut butters (peanut, almond, or cashew)

  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 slices whole grain bread or 2 bagels
  • Optional toppings: nuts, seeds, yogurt, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Cook your oats as directed on the package, substituting milk for water for a creamier texture.
  2. Add the fun stuff: Stir in diced fruits and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
  3. Cook eggs on the side: In a separate pan, scramble or poach your eggs. Season them with salt and pepper as you like.
  4. Toast up: While your eggs are cooking, toast your whole grain bread or bagels until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Assemble and serve: Serve your flavorful oatmeal topped with any optional ingredients you love, alongside your eggs and a warming beverage.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat as needed, adding milk if too thick.
