Oatmeal has a tendency to seem pretty humble. It’s traditionally a peasant food, after all. If you really want to impress your breakfast guests, here are some tricks you can stun them with!
2. Toast your coconut just before topping your oatmeal.
3. No nuts? Try puffed rice.
5. Add a spoonful of coconut oil to make your porridge extra rich.
6. Top your oatmeal with a scoop of banana soft serve.
7. Swap in almond (or another nut) butter for peanut butter.
8. Top with pomegranate arils. It automatically makes it seem luxurious!
9. Serve your oatmeal in a scooped out fruit, like a watermelon bowl, half a grapefruit, or mango.
10. Mix your oats with another grain, like rice or quinoa.
11. Take your baked oatmeal out of the bowl it cooked in and “frost” it like a cake with your favorite nut butter.
12. Blend your oatmeal.
13. Use a flavored nut, such as honey roasted peanuts or candied walnuts.
15. Layer two (or more) different oatmeal recipes together!
16. Turn your baked oatmeal into a parfait.
17. SALT IT.
18. Use homemade coconut butter instead of shredded coconut.
19. Drizzle on some fancy balsamic reduction, if you’re into that kind of thing.
20. Caramelize, roast, or grill your fruit before adding it to your oatmeal.
1. Use vanilla bean paste (or even a fresh vanilla bean) instead of vanilla extract.
