Some of you may be thinking, why do you put granola in your oatmeal? Isn't it just putting more oats in oats? Well you are right, that's exactly what it is. However, granola is crunchy and usually adds a little more flavor. I mostly do it for the texture. Oatmeal by itself is to soft and mushy for me, I don't really love that texture so much. So when I add granola to it, it adds a little crunch, which I find to be the perfect addition! Notice when I make my oatmeal, I only use 1/3 cup of oats because of all the additions I mix in later. This way it's not too heavy for my liking.
Here's today's creation:
In the bowl:
- 1/3 cup oats, vanilla soy milk, water
- 1/2 banana
- 1 spoonful ground flax
- 1 spoonful of PB (Whole Foods Creamy) stirred in at the end
- 1 homemade granola bar crumbled over the top
This is so delicious with the granola bar crumbled over it. Yesterday I made some granola bars, which I plan to post later. I have tried doing this before but I couldn't get them to stick together. I made some tweaks and I'm proud to say this time was a success! I promise to post the recipe later!
