Notes

Need a few ideas, try any of these serving suggestions:

  • Blueberry, Almonds + Cinnamon: Top the oatmeal with fresh blueberries, chopped or slivered almonds, a dash of cinnamon, drizzle of pure maple syrup and almond milk.
  • Apple Walnut Steel Cut Oats: Top with diced apple, chopped walnuts, a drizzle of pure maple syrup and almond milk.
  • Peanut Butter, Banana + Chocolate Chips: For a healthy steel cut oats rich in protein, serve with 2 tablespoons of Almond Butter over top with sliced banana, sprinkle of chocolate chips (or cacao nibs), dash of cinnamon, drizzle of maple syrup and almond milk.
  • Strawberries and Cream: Top oats with fresh sliced strawberries, coconut cream or Vegan Cream, pure maple syrup, and sprinkle of cardamom. It’s super simple and utterly delicious!

  • Peanut Butter & Jelly: Another protein rich oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of your favorite Almond Butter and Berry Chia Jam or Blueberry Compote with a drizzle of pure maple syrup and coconut cream or plant milk.
