Raspberry Peach Oats


Good morning! Before I head off to work, I wanted to share my morning bowl of oats with you. Using my Basic Oats recipe of steel cut oats, milk (I've got soy), cinnamon, ground flax and vanilla, I mixed in sunflower seeds and raisins towards the end of cooking, and topped it all off with fresh raspberries, peaches and pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds). All of these bright colors in my bowl are making for one happy stomach. When getting creative with your bowl of oats, think of color and texture; there are plenty of colorful fruits from which to choose, and nuts/seeds are a great way to add some crunch...
and some nutrition :)

Happy Friday!
