Power-up oatmeal

Get your day started right with this incredibly satisfying, nourishing bowl of oatmeal

I love making a batch of this on Sunday night and then pulling it out for quick breakfasts for the family all week. Pair a bowl of this power-packed oatmeal with a hardboiled egg for a great start to any morning.
