Blueberry Pie Oatmeal

I have become OBSESSED with oatmeal. I was not normally a fan of oatmeal growing up. I used to think that oatmeal was just those little packets you add water to and microwave. I would typically just eat Maple & Brown Sugar flavored and get bored of it quick. But I finally came to my senses and decided to make it myself, on the stove top. I am so happy that I did. 

I bought a big bag of frozen blueberries when I was grocery shopping last weekend and thought a blueberry oatmeal would be delicious. The secret weapon of this recipe is Wilton's Butter Flavor, it creates that buttery crust taste, without the calories! Which is exactly what I needed for a Blueberry Pie Oatmeal. 

Ingredients

1/3 cup Quaker Oatmeal

1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 tsp Wilton Butter Flavor

1/4 cup Blueberries 

2 packets Zero Calorie Sweetener (Or Sweetener of Choice)

1 tbsp Fat Free Cool Whip

I began by dumping the almond milk and dry oats into a sauce pan and turning the heat up to medium. 

Once it comes to a low boil I add the blueberries, vanilla extract, butter flavor, sweetener of choice and cinnamon.

Stir it up and let it sit for another minute. Then take it off the heat and allow it to cool.

Top with Cool Whip and a few extra blueberries and enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

It's finally Fall ya'll! You have no idea how happy I am about this! I could write an entire post about all the wonderful things about Fall but I will spare you and just simply say PUMPKIN! If you don't like pumpkin you're wrong. Pumpkin is delicious in everything. Including this delicious pumpkin pie oatmeal that I have been making all week for breakfast (and once for dinner). 

When it start getting chilly out oatmeal is the best breakfast. It sticks to your bones and warms you right up. And then when you add pumpkin it's like a home run. 

Ingredients:

1/3 Old Fashioned Oatmeal

1 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/3 Cup Canned Pumpkin Puree 

1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 Packets of Splenda (Or 1 Tbs Sweetener of choice, like Agave or Honey )

1 Tbs Chopped Pecans

2 Tbs Fat Free Cool Whip

1. Pour almond milk and oatmeal in a sauce pan on medium heat.

2. When it starts to bubble add the pumpkin and stir it up. Let it bubble for another minute.

3. Add the vanilla extract, Splenda, and pumpkin pie spice. Let it sit on low heat for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally.

4. Take off the heat and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes.

Top with Cool Whip and Pecans.
Enjoy!

I love to make this the night before and let it sit in the fridge to "marinate" over night.
Oh My Gosh!
Yum!
