I'm here to let you in on a little secret... I Emma, am addicted to oats. Rolled oats, quick oats, oat cookies, overnight oats... mmhhmmmm i love me some oaties. Haha so today's post is to provide some oatspo (oat inspo??) to help you find your inner addictions.
Cooked Oats/Porridge
- my favourite winter breakfast because it's super easy, and to me nothing is more satisfying than cooking your breakfast on the stove top with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Then cuddling up in your oversized wooly jumper as you munch on creamy, warm oats... yuuummmm winter come to sydney now plz. I lie ily summer 5eva
COOKED OATS
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1 cup of milk
Cook in a pot under medium to high heat stirring constantly for 3 - 5 minutes until the milk is absorbed and the oats become creamy. (If you replace the cup of milk for 3/4 cup of water then a 1/4 cup of milk about 3 minute into cooking, the oats expand well and are less rich in flavour...which I like sometimes)

Like the chia seed pudding (see previous post) oats are great bases for toppings. Some of my favourite toppings include:
- adding a tablespoon of brown sugar when cooking the oats
- slicing a banana - add half to the oat mix when cooking, then the other half for garnish when cooked
- greek yoghurt, chia seeds and berries
- add a 1/4 cup of egg whites to the oats when being cooked and stir continuously, the eggs do not have a strong taste and adds a nice protein kick.
