Todays breakfast:

I am a big fan of oatmeal, though on it's own it can be quite boring. I loveto find new ways and different methods to making it, and finding new combinations. So today I wanted to try a new twist to my oatmeal. Usually I like my oatmeals to be a bit firm and therefore use less water than recommended, but today I opted for a more voluminous and runny variation. I tell yah, it was delish!!

You need:

• 1/3 cup/30g Oatmeal
• 1 cup/2.4dl  liquid (I use 2/3 water, 1/3 milk)
• 1 Tbsp Chia seeds (not necessary)
• 2 Tbsp
• 1 tsp sweetner (honey, maple syrup, sugar etc)
• 1/2 - 1 tsp Vanilla powder or/and cinnamon 
• If wanted; frozen berries (I used wild berries mix)

For garnish: almonds, walnuts, chocolate, milk, cinnamon

First you mix the dry ingredients, except the chia seeds, and mix well. Then you pour in the liquid and sweetner, I used maple syrup (adds some spicyness), and stir. Microwave it for 1,5 min and then take it out. 

Add more liquid if needed before mixing in Chia seeds (You could sub with flax seeds or use less water). Then you push a few frozen berries down into the oatmeal and microwave it until wanted consistency. Mine were perfect after 30 seconds. The thing about oatmeal is that the more you microwave it, the more it rises and gets more voluminous, so be careful that it doesn't spill over the edges.

Since I am a bit impatient a pour milk over my oats when they're microwaved so that they coole down faster, also it tastes good. Then I garnished it with a handful of sliced almonds and chopped walnuts and a few pieces of chocolate and grains. You could really pour anything over it: yoghurt, cereal, muesli, cottage cheese, ricotta, berries, fruit, brown sugar/honey/maple syrup/agave etc.

This is a filling and nutritionous breakfast but could easlily slip into the role of a dessert (especially if topped with maple syrup). And really it diddn't need alot of work, it just seem so because of my prolonged explanation :P
