I woke up this morning, craving for a comforting bowl of oatmeal. I simply love having a warm bowl of oatmeal for breakfast! It is fast and easy to make, and the best thing about it is that it's healthy and REALLY satiating!!
J bought a box of blackberries on Saturday, and I thought it would be perfect substitute for blueberries in my regular ABC oatmeal! In case you're wondering what ABC oatmeal is, that's Almond Butter + Berries + Cinnamon Oatmeal. I'd usually use blueberries for my oatmeal, but decided on using blackberries this morning. The result - simply awesome!!
ABC Oatmeal
- 1/3 cup oats (or GF oats)
- 1/4 cup blackberries (or blueberries)
- 1/2 tbsp almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- Honey / Preferred Sweetener (optional)
Directions:
- In a small pot, cook oats in water for about 5 mins.
- Stir in almond butter and cinnamon. Reduce heat, and add berries (reserve some for topping).
- Cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until berries are soft.
- Transfer cooked oatmeal into a bowl, and add honey if preferred. Top oatmeal with some fresh berries.
- Enjoy! . . .

I cannot live without my oatmeal everyday (though I use oatbran ;) )I love your idea of using wonderful fresh berries. Perhaps I should swap my dark chocolate on top for something vaguely healthier... :P
Ooohhh...I love dark chocolate toppings too! Chocolates keep me sane:P I'd sometimes have chocolate, nuts and berries oatmeal:)
Sounds like a great dish, but there is one thing that I'm a little less than sure about - the recipe name. Reminds me of a thing we used to say in middle school, or ABC gum, as in "already been chewed."
