Smoothie, yogurt, and oatmeal weekday breakfast trifecta (gluten free and vegan)
Next-Level Fruit and Nut Butter Oatmeal
I thought I wasn't a big fan of oatmeal until a friend introduced me to the wholesome comfort of adding nut butter. Now, I am eating this breakfast on the regular. Of the breakfasts I eat, this one promotes my gut health the most.
Equipment
- Small microwave safe bowl
- Microwave
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Bob's Red Mill gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup water
- ⅓ cup frozen blueberries or frozen fruit of choice
- Heaping tablespoon of almond butter
- Generous sprinkling of cinnamon
- Light sprinkling of cardamom
- Drizzle of maple or agave syrup
- Handful of flax/chia seeds or sliced almonds for bonus nutrition
Instructions
- Combine oats and water in a small, microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for one minute.
- Meanwhile, measure out ⅓ cup frozen blueberries or frozen fruit of choice. Remove oats from microwave, add the fruit, and microwave again for 1 minute (if you have fresh fruit, heat the oatmeal for 1 and ½ to 2 minutes in step one and do not microwave again in this step).
- Remove oats from microwave. Add almond butter (or other nut butter of choice), cinnamon, cardamom, maple or agave syrup, and additional toppings such as seeds, nuts, fresh banana, coconut flakes, or dark chocolate chips to your heart's content! Mix to combine well, and enjoy.
