This week’s recipe is a warm bowl of cinnamon oats that’s cozy, satisfying, and packed with nourishing ingredients that support both heart and hormone health. Made with fiber-rich oats, chia seeds, banana, and almonds, this breakfast delivers 10–12g of fiber per serving to help keep you full, support digestion, and promote overall wellness.

Brown butter: In a small pot over medium heat, melt the butter and continue cooking until it turns golden brown and smells warm and nutty.
Toast oats: Add the oats and cinnamon to the browned butter. Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the oats are lightly toasted and fragrant.
Cook: Turn the heat up to high and pour in the oat milk and brown sugar. Stir continuously as the oatmeal cooks and thickens. If the oatmeal starts bubbling up too much, lower the heat slightly. Continue cooking until creamy and thickened to your liking.
Finish: Right before removing from the heat, stir in a splash of vanilla extract.
Serve: Pour into a bowl and top with sliced banana, sliced almonds, and a dash of cinnamon ✨

Tatum’s Recipe Hacks:
✨ For an extra protein boost, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or mix in ½ scoop of your favorite protein powder before serving. This can increase the bowl by roughly 8–12 grams of protein while making the oats even creamier and more satisfying. Adjust the amount to match your preferred texture and sweetness.
❓ 🥣 Oats are one of the oldest cultivated grains in the world and were originally grown as a hardy “survivor crop.” They thrived in cooler, wetter climates where other grains struggled, which is why they became a staple food across Northern Europe long before becoming a modern breakfast favorite.
