Kevin has dubbed he and I as a cereal family. And though I do love my cold cereals too, I think we are a breakfast food family.
This morning for breakfast I made oatmeal, and I am going to go through the steps of how I make my oatmeal. Though the toppings might vary, the steps remain the same.
First start off with a half or a whole banana. I bought these from the discounted section for .59cents! Look at them. They just look like the bananas I buy fresh, 3 days later.
Peel open the banana and it's almost in pristine condition. Just a small bruise near the bottom. So next time you see some discounted produce, take a second look, you just might find yourself a steal of a deal.
Take said banana (today I used a whole), and toss it in the microwave for 30 seconds. This will help soften your banana for the mashing process.
Banana-mash.
Today, though, cinnamon & nutmeg won.
As for toppings at this stage, I interchange between cinnamon&nutmeg or a nut butter (cashew butter is my fav).
Today, though, cinnamon & nutmeg won.
Now I add 1/3cup of quick oats. With quick oats, you want a 2:1 ratio of wet to dry. Added then to our 1/3cup of quick oats, is 1/3cup of UVAB and 1/3 cup of water.
I LOVE breakfast foods! I have one major problem, hubby NEVER eats 'em. The kids and I will have "Breakfast for dinner" every once in a while when Corey is working evenings :) I eat breakfast every morning but it's always quick stuff, yogurt, packaged oatmeal/cream of wheat and fruit :)
