This morning as I was walking my dog I thought to myself, no way am I having fruit for breakfast. The temperature drop and the wind blowing made me feel like i needed something warm and grounding. I opted to make homemade quick oatmeal. I bought a canister at trader joe's because i was going to use them for a snack bar recipe, but figured i'd give them a whirl for breakfast. Oatmeal is not something i usually eat. Country Choice Organic Oats Old Fashioned style is what i went with. This morning I only did 1/4C instead of a 1/2 C. (I had 1/2C on monday when i first tried it and it seemed to be a lot.)
I added about 1/8 C dried chopped cherries and less then an 1/8 C of sliced almonds. Add 1/2C water and nuke for 2 minutes. (I try not to use the microwave, but mornings are not my strong suit so i'm always in a hurry to get out the door.)
It's great to make your own because there is no added salt or sugar... or if u do decide you want to add some brown sugar, it's at you're discretion.... a teaspoon won't kill you. So you're adding 4 grams of refined sugar if you do that. You probably won't even feel like you need that much. And try honey instead of the refined stuff.
(It doesn't look like there's much in the picture shown above, but i have giant bowls.)
