Oatmeal has been a breakfast staple for centuries, and for good reason. It's a hearty, filling, and nutritious way to start the day.

Walnuts or pecans can be added for some extra crunch, and maple syrup or honey can be added for sweetness, if desired. This oatmeal is a great way to start your day, and it is sure to keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.
