There isn't much better than a hot bowl of oatmeal on a cold winters' morning. The steam rising from the oatmeal brings out the flavor of any topping you choose. There is no need to by sugary packet of oatmeal when Bangor area stores sell healthy oats that can be used to make a different flavored bowl of oatmeal every morning of the wheat.
Many toppings make good breakfast choices, and will not cost much on an already tight budget. You can even use leftover items to enhance the goodness of this hot breakfast food. Try these combinations this week:
-
Diced pears and cinnamon.
-
Unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon.
-
Raisins and pumpkin pie spice.
-
Mix an some maple syrup and top with a sprinkling of brown sugar for a treat.
-
Diced apple with a cinnamon and nutmeg mix.
-
Make your own peaches and cream oatmeal by using a sweet cream for the liquid and dicing peaches small. Mix it all up.
-
Use a cinnamon sugar mix for another treat.
