Cozy and hearty porridge recipe for all of your fall-time festive needs!
I’ve had quite an interesting experience with oats. I used to eat rolled oats every morning with the same exact toppings. Pretty monotonous and boring. Oats always kind of made my stomach hurt and just wasn’t my favorite way to start the day. I knew I had some digestive issues and finally decided to start listening to my body. So instead of rolled oats, I tried to replicate the porridge I had in Scotland that hadn’t hurt my stomach. It turns out, I had to use instant oats!
Even though they’re often called microwave oats, you don’t have to microwave them or get them will all of those added sugars and flavorings! I still cook my oats on the stove and top them with delicious and natural toppings, and it even makes me feel so much better!
Ok that was a bit of a rant, but I just wanted you to know all about my relationship with oats so that you can understand just how dedicated I was too find a recipe that worked for me. Now you can enjoy your oats too!
These oats are:
– creamy
– cozy
– festive for fall and winter
– the perfect cinnamon fix
– and an amazing way to start the day!
