Recipe Tips

Get rolling. Stick with old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick or steel-cut oats for the best results.
Make it work. While maple syrup and brown sugar add to the classic flavor, you can easily change it up with different sweeteners.
Wait for it. Don't add the toasted pecans until you're about to dig into this brown sugar oatmeal recipe.
Add some fuel. An easy way to feel full longer is to include some optional add-ins, like protein powder, flax seeds, or chia seeds.
Go big. Whip up a double batch of this oatmeal and have breakfast taken care of all week.
