As the days get colder, shorter, and more stressful, we all need a comforting pick-me-up. Recently, my go to has been a breakfast of oatmeal filled with fall spices courtesy of the Commons spice rack. It makes me remember why I love fall on cold, grey days.
The concoction is delicious but easy and quick to put together:
- Oatmeal
- Nutmeg
- Powdered ginger
- Cinnamon (what fall creation could skip it?)
- Cloves
- Honey
- Ground flax seed
- Chia seeds
- A spoon of almond butter
Simple, but life changing and soul warming. Perfect for frigid, early, Maine mornings.
