    Fully Loaded Oatmeal

    Looking for ways to jazz up your oatmeal? This is my Fully Loaded Oatmeal, a delicious breakfast to set you up for the day with a smile on your face.

    Fully Loaded Oatmeal - Who says my breakfast can't look like dessert!

    I don't mind porridge/oatmeal, but I'm definitely a toppings girl.

    I think it comes from the same part of my brain that used to dislike risotto.  Mouthful after mouthful of the same taste.  Even if it's good, it's going to be boring after the fifth forkful.

    Then I discovered toppings! Like the crispy garlic crumbs on my creamy tomato risotto.  That was a revelation that led to a whole new risotto-eating Nicky.

    So now I think of porridge in the same way.  Hmmm what toppings shall I have today?

    Apple, cinnamon, nuts and raisins?
    Fruit and nut porridge
    Yep, that's a good one to go with a large Latte.

    I even add extra toppings to my granola half the time.  Like the mini coconut macaroons and extra fruit on this breakfast:

    Coconut Macaroon Granola - Hands-down the best granola I've ever tasted. Gluten free too!

    In fact, having just had a quick (ahem 20 minutes probably isn't that quick, but i'm easily distracted) peruse through my pinterest board, I think I may be obessed!
    Toppings of crispy onions, bacon, coconut, pomegranate, candied nuts......the list goes on......

    Wow.  I guess everything just tastes better with toppings.

    This fully loaded porridge is covered in chopped strawberries and banana, then swirled with dark melted chocolate and Greek yogurt, and finally sprinkled with a few Chia seeds.

    Fully Loaded Oatmeal - Who says my breakfast can't look like dessert!

    A delicious breakfast to set you up for the day with a smile on your face.

      I've already started on my winter porridge kick, but because I've been making it at work it has been pretty plain: oats, milk, pear/apple and cinnamon. Seems I need to kick up my toppings game. I'm sure I can fit a stash of nuts and seeds in my drawer so that I can jazz up on the go! Thanks for the inspiration Nicky 🙂

      Oatmeal is actually one of my favorite go to foods for breakfast. The toppings just make it better! I need to try a few of your ideas. I always go for the same old thing.

        I sometimes consider just dropping the oatmeal so I can concentrate on the toppings, but that would probably be bad 😉
