fall oatmeal + yogurt bowl

the perfect, cozy combination of the yogurt bowl and warm oats.

ingredients:

• oats of your choice (I prefer quick oats)

• milk of choice (I prefer a creamy oat milk)

• sweetener of choice (I prefer maple syrup)

• greek yogurt — I prefer a flavored yogurt like honey. dairy-free yogurts work perfectly as well!

• canned or jarred peaches — since peaches are no longer in season, my favorite go-to are the trader joe’s yellow cling peach halves in white grape juice.

• pepitas — other nuts or seeds will do, but the nuttiness of pepitas pairs perfectly with this dish!

• cinnamon

• *optional* vegan butter or regular

preparation:

• start by cooking your oats. the best thing about quick oats is that this whole dish can be prepared within a handful of minutes. I prefer to cook my oats on the stove top by melting a pad of vegan butter in a small pot on low heat.

• once the butter melts, add in your serving of oats (I typically make around 1/2 of a cup) and toss it around in the butter until it’s fully incorporated.

• next, add in 1 cup of your milk of choice along with sweetener (this will be to taste but typically around 1-2 tablespoons).

• turn the heat up to medium and continue to stir until oats are fully cooked and the liquid is fully absorbed. oats will be thick and creamy.

• remove oats from heat and serve in your favorite bowl.

• lastly, toppings! add a few scoops of yogurt, sliced peaches, a small handful of pepitas (these taste amazing if you toast them in a saucepan for a minute or so) and a dash of cinnamon. enjoy!
