Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cooking Alternatives

This recipe doesn’t have to be made in the microwave…
Make a double batch on top of the stove, share or have it for tomorrow’s breakfast.
The instapot is a really great way but the stove is probably quicker.
Make overnight oats or if your making a big batch for a large crowd (teacher breakfasts, family reunions, beach party breakfast..ha. ha…wishful thinking😎) make it in the crockpot and add sliced apples, pears, nuts, butter, cinnamon, and water…it’s really good!!!

HOW TO SERVE

Personally, I eat blueberry-banana oatmeal in the measuring cup making it a one-pot breakfast…I hate doing dishes!

If you’re making this recipe or one of the above alternatives for a crowd, have the oatmeal ready to go and serve a variety of goodies…Oatmeal Buffet!

Serve this healthy oatmeal as a side to a special brunch meal, it’s great for your friends watching their weight!

STORAGE

In The Freezer: If the oatmeal is an ingredient…not the main one…in cookies like these Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies then yes! But alone cooked…why when it just so easy to make fresh.

In The Fridge: If properly sealed in a glass or plastic container with a tight lid, premade oatmeal can last for up to a week. Just add a little water before you microwave and stir…

Make Ahead: Yes, it’s great pre-cooked but please follow the above instructions.

IS OATMEAL GOOD FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

YES…according to Health.com it is very healthy and a great weapon for weight loss. It is nutrient-rich, has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, supports weight loss and weight management. Oatmeal has been found to help lower cholesterol and blood sugars making it a Super Food…in my opinion!

Weight Watchers encourages their members to eat whole grain foods such as oatmeal and brown rice. In fact, both oatmeal and brown rice are zero points on my personal plan…that’s a super big food deal!!!
