If you love oatmeal cookies, try this quick and satisfying breakfast.
While the meal itself is great, I’m not going to lie, I think the house smell might be the best part. An hour after we have finished I can still smell the waft of heavenly aromas in the air.
If you’re looking for an unhealthier version of the one I am posting, you might try the original (link on the adapted from part of the recipe below) which calls for butter and twice the sugar.
I personally don’t like the idea of starting off the day with the most amount of sugar possible.
AND, if you’re using fruit, that’s a better way to make something naturally sweet.
You can get experimental with the toppings, anything from berries to granola, heavy cream or almond milk.
I like it with peaches and regular warmed up milk myself.
It makes about enough for about 3 people to have full bowls, 4 if you go smaller on the portions.
I hope you enjoy this yummy breakfast and if so, please let me know in the comments!
