Chock-full Oatmeal

By Leo Babauta

This is one of my favorite all-time breakfasts. It comes in many variations — here’s a typical version:

• steel-cut (or Irish) oats, cooked on the stove (whole or rolled oats also work fine)
• blueberries
• raw almonds
• ground flaxseed
• cinnamon
• a sprinkling of raisins to sweeten

There are lots of great ingredients you could add or substitute. I’ve also had ingredients such as:

• diced apples
• dried cranberries
• a wee bit of brown sugar
• other nuts
• other berries, such as blackberries
• sliced bananas
• pineapple!
• dried coconut!
• mango

Not all at the same time. And those are just the things I like. You might have a dozen other ingredients you could add in, and it’ll taste delicious.
