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.
