oatmeal

Give your breakfast bowl a break, and try oats in a hearty risotto, healthy chocolate muffins or fresh, chewy cookies.

Brighten up your morning with these recipes for energy boosting grains, breakfast muffins and quiches.

Consider this an easier, nuttier version of rice-based risotto. The oats maintain a slight chewiness even when fully cooked. We used store-bought beef broth; if you use homemade, season the risotto generously with salt.

Don't let the morning hustle cheat you out of breakfast.

I love turning breakfast into spin-offs of my favourite desserts, while still keeping them healthy at the same time. I’ve made Carrot cake oatmeal, Pumpkin pie smoothies, and Chocolate chip cookie dough oatmeal just to name a few.
