Marionberry Oatmeal

Posted May 1, 2011 in Photography

Have you ever had oatmeal with berries in it? Call me late to the party, but it’s amazing!

Growing up, I only had oatmeal at my dad’s house, and it usually was topped with brown or raw sugar. I was always a little iffy about it, and usually added more sugar when my dad wasn’t looking. This meant I ended up with a breakfast that was sickly sweet and almost impossible to finish.

Fast forward a decade or so, and suddenly I discovered how awesome oatmeal is with berries! Just a cup of water, half a cup of oats, nuked for two minutes and finished off with a cup of frozen berries. We’ve been buying bags of frozen blueberries and mixed berries (marionberry, raspberry, and blueberry), all of which are delicious. When berry season comes around, I plan on buying a ton of berries from a local farm again, and freezing them like I did last year.

Anyway, it’s delicious. Even as dessert.
