Morning. π You know what makes a bowl of oatmeal truly special?
Oatmeal freckles!
Alright, they arenβt freckles, but thatβs what Iβll tell my kids. ;) I actually added a bit of vanilla bean to my oatmeal this morning, and the result was fantastic.
You can find whole vanilla bean in the spice section of most well-stocked grocery stores.
To get the most of the flecks out, roll the entire length of the bean in between your fingers for a few seconds.
Then, slice lengthwise and use a knife to scrap it out. Mmmm!
On the stovetop, I cooked:
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 banana
- Vanilla bean
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Topping: sunflower seeds
A lovely sweet and salty combination!
Song of the day:
And in other music news, Peter Hollenβs version of Born This Way is on iTunes!
Iβm off!
what a cute name-oatmeal freckles! your future kids will love it π heck i love it….can i have a bowl?
