Lazy Sunday Morning Oatmeal Recipe

There's nothing I love more than a lazy sunday morning. Rolling out of bed in your pajamas, putting on a pot of tea, doing some yoga, not having to rush to work or school- today was that day.

After a vinyasa flow yoga class this morning I came home and made a delicious bowl of oatmeal that just warms your soul…every.time. This breakfast is so comforting and perfect, especially on a cold winter morning!


It's filling, but does not leave you overly stuffed. It's sweet, but does not use any sugar or artificial sweeteners. And it's nutritious, but you would never know because it tastes so good! This recipe is so much healthier than most store bought oatmeal packs. All you need are 2 ingredients! Almond milk and rolled oats ( i use the gluten free ones).  And then from there you can add on top whatever fruits tickle your taste buds for a sweet kick! I love the banana and blueberry combination….SOOO YUMMY. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups original almond milk
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill (Gluten Free) Rolled Oats
  • A few dashes of cinnamon
  • Toppings :
    • any fruit(for some extra carbs if this is a pre or post- workout meal and to naturally sweeten it up)
    • nuts, almond/ peanut butter (for healthy fats and some added protein)
    • extra cinnamon, natural honey or vanilla extract ( if you taste the oatmeal and it's not sweet enough for you)

Directions:


  1. Bring 2 cups of almond milk to a boil in a small pot
  2. Add 1 cup of oats into milk
  3. Reduce heat and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally (for a thicker oatmeal cook for longer)
  4. Serve with toppings of choice & enjoy!
I would never steer you wrong so give this  ooey-gooey bowl of creamy deliciousness a shot and you won't be disappointed :)!
