Recipe: Not-so-ugly-oatmeal with almond milk, fresh figs, and walnuts

Recipe: Oatmeal with almond milk, fresh figs, and walnuts

Sanne: Oatmeal is one of my go-to breakfast choices on weekdays. Especially during the cooler months, it’s nice to have something warm for breakfast, and I like how satisfying a bowl of oatmeal can be, keeping me going from the early morning hours and all the way to lunchtime.

While a plain bowl of oatmeal may lack the visual allure of other breakfast options (hey avo toast, stop being such a show-off), you can dress it up with fresh fruit, berries, and nuts, and make it just as appealing to the eye, as it is to the palate.

Notes

This particular recipe calls for almond milk, but you can use any kind of milk you prefer. It doesn’t take more than 10 minutes to make, so it’s a quick and easy way to start your day.

Here’s my favorite oatmeal topping:
Fresh figs, walnuts, honey, banana and cacao nibs. Drizzle a little honey on top and your oatmeal is ready to eat.

Another nice topping:
Sliced apple, cinnamon, and honey.

Oatmeal is not only satisfying but also scrumptious, making it an excellent choice for breakfast. While it may lack the visual allure of some other breakfast options, adding a generous sprinkling of fresh fruits and nuts can elevate its appearance, making it as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup ½ (1.25dL) water

  • ½ cup ½ (1.25dL) almond milk

  • ½ cup ½ (1.25dL) rolled oats, without additives (not the instant ones)

  • 1 teaspoon 1 honey

  • A pinch of salt

  • ½ ½ banana

  • 1 1 fresh fig

  • Walnuts

  • Cocoa nibs

Directions

  • If you ask my mom, she would tell you that you should only add water and let the oats simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients, and that’s probably the right way to do it, but I would just add everything at once. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until you get the right, thick texture.
  • Add fresh fig, walnuts, honey, banana and cacao nibs, or any topping you like, and enjoy your oatmeal breakfast.
