If there’s one breakfast that we eat on repeat in our house, it’s oatmeal. I keep a big jar of rolled oats on the kitchen counter, which we of course use for oatmeal, but we also use them to make muffins, breads, and desserts!
This oatmeal is made smooth by blending the oats with milk in a blender before cooking it on the stove. I added berries, but you could easily use bananas, peaches, or whatever your favorite fruit is! The end result is so creamy and delicious, it’s definitely worth the extra step!
Top with more berries, your favorite nuts/seeds, and serve! A simple and cozy meal in a matter of minutes. Enjoy!

January 16, 2017 at 4:41 amBlending the oats is a great tip! I usually buy ready brek (they are ground porridge oats) because I prefer a smoother texture. Loving this recipe! I will have to try it for breakfast soon!

January 13, 2017 at 6:12 pmIt’s so funny I was just explaining to my babies why I buy the plain oatmeal and not the flavored stuff. I like to add my own flavorings and fruit! So, this is a new twist on oatmeal for me to serve my babies, Thanks!
