Super Oatmeal!
I know it seems like all I eat for breakfast is big and sweet and or gooey and more than likely filled with oh so delicious fat! I think if I really ate that way all the time, I would have already had my first heart attack.
This is a more accurate example of my normal everyday breakfast. I figure if I eat well during the week, I can let loose on the weekends and have some fun with breakfast without TOO much guilt. I call this Super Oatmeal!
You start off with 2/3 cup of oatmeal, add 1/2 cup all bran cereal, 1/4 cup 7 grain cereal, a pinch of salt and about 1 1/2 cups water.
Throw it all in a pot and let it bubble away on medium heat until thick and gooey. When I’m feeling particularly wild and crazy, I’ll add in a handful of raisins or dried cranberries.
A little handful of brown sugar and VOILA! Super Oatmeal! It has almost zero fat, low sugar (until you throw your brown sugar on top!) and about 90% of your daily required fiber intake. Add a piece of fruit and some juice or milk and you are good to go!
MMmmmMmmmMm FIBER-LICIOUS!!!
Burp!

I like mine with apples and maple syrup — then it’s grotesquely healthy

William Shatner would be proud that you’ve made friends with fiber.

This looks like some pretty tasty oatmeal! Mine is always loaded with brown sugar too. Occasionally I’ll add in Vanilla Yogurt Raisins, and Dried Cranberries too.

I must be a freak, because I like to eat my rolled oats raw with milk. YUM (sometimes a banana or raisins or brown sugar get thrown in, but it’s awesome au natural)

I just found your site!! Yum…. It inspired me to create something “different” for brunch today for me and SWMBO. I fried up some bacon pieces along with some maple sausage, added cheese and egg to make it into an omelet and then drizzled it with a home made syrup of honey, kayro syrup, butter, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Mind it I tag your blog to mine?
Cheers!
