Recipe: Not-so-ugly-oatmeal with almond milk, fresh figs, and walnuts
Oatmeal is one of my go-to breakfast choices on weekdays. Especially during the cooler months, it’s nice to have something warm for breakfast, and I like how satisfying a bowl of oatmeal can be, keeping me going from the early morning hours and all the way to lunchtime.
While a plain bowl of oatmeal may lack the visual allure of other breakfast options (hey avo toast, stop being such a show-off), you can dress it up with fresh fruit, berries, and nuts, and make it just as appealing to the eye, as it is to the palate.
Notes
This particular recipe calls for almond milk, but you can use any kind of milk you prefer. It doesn’t take more than 10 minutes to make, so it’s a quick and easy way to start your day.
Here’s my favorite oatmeal topping:
Fresh figs, walnuts, honey, banana and cacao nibs. Drizzle a little honey on top and your oatmeal is ready to eat.
Another nice topping:
Sliced apple, cinnamon, and honey.

Ingredients
½ cup (1.25dL) water
½ cup (1.25dL) almond milk
½ cup (1.25dL) rolled oats, without additives (not the instant ones)
1 teaspoon honey
A pinch of salt
½ banana
1 fresh fig
Walnuts
Cocoa nibs
Directions
- If you ask my mom, she would tell you that you should only add water and let the oats simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients, and that’s probably the right way to do it, but I would just add everything at once. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until you get the right, thick texture.
- Add your favorite topping, and enjoy your oatmeal breakfast. Here is my favorite topping:
Fresh figs, walnuts, honey, banana and cacao nibs.
This topping combo always works, but sliced apple and cinnamon is also great with oatmeal. Drizzle a little honey on top and your oatmeal is ready to eat.
