When the cold weather hits, there is nothing I love more for breakfast than oatmeal. I use to make a basic quick oat with brown sugar, maple syrup and maybe some raisins. It was my go to in the morning. Then one morning I decided to add a spoonful of my homemade applesauce. It was amazing. Just that simple addition took it to a whole new level. I was hooked. Not on the applesauce oatmeal, but on trying new flavors!
Next up, this creamy oatmeal that is full of sweet and crunchy , but is also good for you. Cranberries, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg and of course my not so secret ingredient. French Vanilla Creamer! I think I bake/cook with my flavored coffee creamers more than I use them in coffee. Try it out and let us know how much you love it.
