Oatmeal Recipes

I really truely believe that oatmeal is a super food.  I eat oatmeal every morning and I swear that it starts my metabolism, give me sustained energy and keeps me fuller longer.  Every morning my husband and I make our oatmeal and eat our hard boiled eggs.We are always looking for ways to spice it up!  Check out a list of recipes that I found at the gracious pantry.  Hopefully, you will give oatmeal a try and love it as much as we do!
I always buy rolled oats, not instant because they retain a high nutritional value.  The best oatmeal to buy is steel cut oats because they retain the most nutritional value.I microwave my oats with some water for about 75 seconds.  Then, I add my ingredients, usually fresh fruit (peaches, bananas, blueberries) and always 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tbsp bee pollen and 1 tbsp wheat germ.
