We actually like oatmeal in my house. We find it to be the perfect base for so many toppings, it is extremely versatile, and can be made to anyone’s taste.

This one is a very simple vegan recipe. I like to boil my oats in milk, I find it makes them creamy and gives them more flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1-2 cups almond milk (depends how thick you want the consistency to be)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Pinch of salt

Mix all of these in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer until oats are the texture and consistency you prefer.

Toppings:

The list of toppings is endless, so many possibilities, in the above picture I used:

• Sliced strawberries
• Walnuts
• Agave syrup

Other options that would make a great vegan oatmeal are:

• Mango
• Coconut flakes
• Almonds
• Agave syrup

• Add 1 tsp of cocoa when cooking oats
• Toasted hazelnuts
• Chopped dates
• Brown sugar

• Add 2 Tbsp pumpkin purée and 1/2 tsp nutmeg when cooking oats
• Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• Pecans
• Brown sugar

The possibilities go on and on. Try one of these combinations or create your own, just give oatmeal a chance 😉
