We love oatmeal! Most of the breakfasts in the Methodology kitchen include oatmeal because it's such a comforting, wholesome way to begin your day.
And oatmeal acts like a sponge that absorbs whatever spices you add to it. With a little creativity and experimentation, it's easy to keep oatmeal in your regular rotation without getting bored with it.
This vanilla cardamom oatmeal recipe is one of our favorites because it reminds us of drinking a warm cup of spiced chai.
And, as always, we don't add any sweeteners to our food, including our oatmeal. We think that the spices and touch of healthy fat give these oats a complex flavor on their own.
