Treating myself to what feels like a really sweet super indulgent breakfast and yet is a lot healthier than something like French Toast or Corned Beef Hash and Hash Browns. Yummy morning. (It’s not on the photo but there’s a side of half grapefruit here too).

I discovered an easy way to make my morning oatmeal a little bit more special. I thought that I would share. The tip is to add yogurt-covered raisins to the oatmeal. Do this when it’s still piping hot and what happens is that the sweet yogurt melts into the oatmeal. You can stir it up to get a creamy sweet taste for the oatmeal. The raisins are still in there. I added a bit of cinnamon, too, to top it all of.

YUM!

Other ideas for better oatmeal:

• Add fresh sliced fruit. I always love this one!
• Add a bit of granola or other dry cereal. Stir in some milk.
• Get a granola bar or breakfast cereal break. Break it into small pieces and add it to the oatmeal.
• Swirl honey into your oatmeal. Some people also use maple syrup although that’s a bit too sweet for me!

What are your tips for making morning oatmeal a bit more special?
