    Guys, I can't believe I haven't shared my all-time favorite breakfast recipe with you yet: Oatmeal. 

    Good old-fashioned oatmeal. Made with old-fashioned rolled oats.

    It's simple. It's filling. It's totally customizable.

    Ready to make it??

    Here's what you need:

    For the oatmeal:

    • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
    • 2 cups water (or almond milk or other plant-based milk of your choice)
    • Pinch of salt

    For the toppings:

    • ½ cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
    • ¼ cup of almond butter or sunflower butter
    • 1 orange, peeled and sliced
    • ¼ cup of pomegranate seeds
    • ¼ cup of pumpkin seeds
    • ¼ cup of fresh or frozen berries (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon of nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews) (optional)
    • 1-2 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)

    using a knife to peel an orange

    Of course, you can use any toppings or add-ins you like, such as:

    • Chia seeds (these are really great in oatmeal!!)
    • Flax seeds (the ground kind is better nutrition-wise!)
    • Hemp seeds
    • Freeze-dried fruit
    • Sliced bananas, or any other fruit
    • Pink pitaya powder
    • Purple sweet potato powder

    Here's what you do:

    Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, water (or milk), and a pinch of salt.

    Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The oatmeal will be soft and thick, and will have a creamy consistency.

    Step 2: Add the almond butter and almond milk, stirring until incorporated. Taste it (carefully! it's hot!) and see if it needs sweetener.

    Step 3: Divide between two bowls, then top with pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds, nuts, fresh or frozen berries, or add your own favorite toppings. Drizzle with additional maple syrup, if desired.
