experimenting with oatmeal

I’ve been told that oatmeal is great for the supply so I’ve been sure to enjoy some daily. Well, plain oatmeal is pretty good, but it starts to get a little… plain after a while. I was jumping all over pinterest for some recipes and didn’t find a ton, unfortunately. My sister let me in on one of her favorite ways to enjoy oatmeal, and ever since, I’ve been experimenting so I thought I’d share with you!

Cinnamon Apple “Cobbler” Oatmeal

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 (more or less depending on how thin you like your oats) cup milk – I’m currently using lactose-free milk
1.5 tbs Apple Butter
dash of cinnamon
Brown sugar to taste

I don’t like cooked fruit for the most part, so this was a quick way to enjoy an apple cobbler tasting treat without having to cut apples, and with just the ingredients I already had. Cook the oats following the directions on the carton and add in the rest.

Peanut butter Oatmeal – this one isn’t as sweet

1/3 cup old fashioned oats2/3 (more or less depending on how thin you like your oats) cup milk – I’m currently using lactose-free milk
2 tbs peanut butter
1 tbs honey (more or less to taste)
dash of cinnamon

Chocolate Oatmeal

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 (more or less depending on how thin you like your oats) cup milk – I’m currently using lactose-free milk
1 tsp cocoa powder
dash of cinnamon
brown sugar to taste
powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

Banana bread Oatmeal

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
2/3 (more or less depending on how thin you like your oats) cup milk – I’m currently using lactose-free milk
1 over-ripe banana
dash of cinnamon (optional)
brown sugar to taste
coconut flakes (optional)

Slice banana and cook with oats, then add everything else and enjoy!

And last, but not least…

I used this recipe found on pinterest. Hubs loved it, I just thought it was OK.. a little too bland for me.

Enjoy!
