Adding Fall Flavors to Oatmeal

From cranberries and apples to pears and pecans, adding fresh, fall flavors to a bowl of hot oatmeal can be the perfect way to start off a chilly morning. Not only are oats a good source of protein and an excellent source of fiber, but they’re a blank canvas for getting creative with seasonal recipes. Here are a few ways to enjoy the comforting flavors of fall:
- Celebrate the season of pumpkin spice by mixing some pumpkin puree into your oatmeal with a few dashes of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg
- For a delicious and warming, apple-pie inspired breakfast, combine chopped walnuts with cooked apples and cinnamon
- Mix in tangy dried cranberries, pecans, and a splash of vanilla extract for a tart and crunchy breakfast bowl
- Add crushed pistachios, caramelized pears, and a drizzle of maple syrup for a decadent, yet healthy, way to kick-start the day
