1 T brown sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 T heavy cream
a dash of milk
a small handful of raisins
5-10 pecan halves, crumbled up
Put all of THAT good stuff on top of your plain ole oatmeal, and your taste buds will be transported into how-can-this-be-healthy heaven!
This loaded oatmeal tastes good and feels good once it’s in my tummy too! I have experimented with oatmeal toppings for years, and I’ve never found anything that I like better than plain ole brown sugar and milk. Until this week, that is! The star of one of my favorite kid-book series, Sammy Keyes, gave me the idea. She puts walnuts, maple syrup, brown sugar, and milk on her oatmeal every day. Walnuts make my mouth itch, so I tried pecans. Then on a whim, I added raisins and cinnamon, and it all just came together. I love having chewy and crunchy textures in normally-mushy oatmeal. This is my new favorite breakfast!
