Oatmeal is a healthy food that can help improve digestion and lower cholesterol, but many people find it to be too boring to eat on a regular basis. Fortunately, there are many ways you can spruce up your oatmeal to make it more palatable and exciting.
Cook it in Milk
If you’ve been cooking your oatmeal in water, you’re in for quite the treat! Replace the water with milk, and you’ll benefit from creamier, richer oats with even more nutrient.
Add Fruit
Counteract the blandness of oatmeal by adding your favorite fruits. Blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and even thinly sliced apples can work wonders for your breakfast.
Try a Savory Oatmeal
The benefit to oatmeal is that it is versatile and works with many external flavors. Try throwing some bacon, cheese, and spinach into your oats and topping the entire dish with a fried egg. You’ll be amazed at how much these elevates the flavor.
Bar it Up
If you can’t stand the mushy texture of oatmeal, consider baking it into crispy oatmeal bars that are great for an on-the-go meal. You can add whatever fruits and spices you like to customize your breakfast bars.
