I know I’ve been sharing a lot of breakfast recipes, but I do love breakfast.
Any time of day (or night) obviously!
This cozy, naturally sweet bowl will wrap you all up in a warm embrace.
Pure maple syrup, creamy tahini, plump medjool dates, and fragrant ground cinnamon will do that.
Let’s not forget our vanilla extract (the real stuff), oat milk, and pink sea salt!
This comfort food hug just got even more snug.
Even though spring has sprung in Seattle it’s still chilly and especially goose bumpy in the mornings and evenings.
So whip yourself up a bowl of flavorful oats, find refuge under a plush blanket and enjoy the simplicity of the moment.
P.S. Use extra creamy tahini for the ultimate tahini maple swirl! I’ve been diggin’ SoCo Tahini.
P.P.S. Top off your oats with fruit for a well-rounded snack. Banana and apple are extra tasty options here! I added frozen blackberries for color.
