Happy Saturday morning!
I used the famous “Blended Oatmeal” Trick on the oatmeal. Then I added banana and a healthy dose of peanut butter. Perhaps it was the addition of the pb that helped me to not miss my chocolate. Or maybe it was the oatmeal, itself. After all, I love oatmeal almost as much as I love chocolate. Wait, I said almost!
Happy Sat. to you too and Halloween!
I love chocolate so much and pb- it is in every meal I make I feel like-this is a good thing!
I had for breakfast- pancakes out at this great cafe. It was perfect.
I just love your oatmeal meals. 🙂
Ooo Monica, one of my dreams is to live in NYC someday simply so I can go to a cafe and get vegan pancakes for breakfast lol!
Your brekkie looks pretty tasty to me! I <3 peanut butter almost as much as chocolate.
I had cheezy-broccoli oat bran for breakfast because I'm suddenly into savory oats! Don't worry, I had two different kinds of dark chocolate later in the day! 🙂
Happy Halloween (well it’s Halloween here in Aus), I think I might make the oatmeal tomorrow morning to give me some energy for my first exam this semester (yuck!) Today I had some granola that I made yesterday, I’ll never tired of granola … EVER!
After years of ” not liking oatmeal” I’ve been eating it like a maniac for the past few days 😀
just wanted to quickly wish you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN KATIE!!!
I had steel-cut oatmeal with chocolate almond silk (OMG!!), with 2 bananas and also a healthy dollop of TJ’s crunchy peanut butter — YUMM!!!!!! =P Pretty similar to yours except for the blending. I’ll consider that for next time.
so hot oatmeal doesn’t explode in the blender? i’m afraid of putting hot liquidy things in my blender and having to clean my ceiling.
LOL I actually like eating my oatmeal cold, like pudding. But when I’ve made this for people who like hot oats, I blend first, then put the oatmeal pudding in a bowl, and microwave as a final step.
Do you cook your oats using the voluminous oats trick when you blend them, or do you just cook them normally?
I made myself some oatmeal the other day, and for some reason it really didn’t turn out nice. It tasted watery and the texture was all wrong (mind you, it might just have been me that was all wrong as I was feeling pretty irritable that day!) I kind of stormed out of the kitchen refusing to eat anythig for lunch, till my hunger brought me back to the kitchen to find something else to eat. BING! Then a light goes on, and I remember your blended grains trick – I threw the goopy let-down into my mini blender and showed it who was boss. The result…. The day was saved and now I look forward to messing up my oatmeal! The flavour and texture are totally transformed in the best of ways!!
Just did this because I got my wisdom teeth out- it is surprisingly delicious!
