Fruit, Figs and Peanut Butter Coffee Oatmeal
This Fruit, Figs and Peanut Butter Coffee Oatmeal recipe is the perfect way to get in your caffeine in the morning. The frozen berries, chia seeds and figs come together perfectly in this easy breakfast bowl.
Coffee Oatmeal again. This time with figs, berries, chia seeds and peanut butter!
Okay, was this post really a surprise? Coffee oatmeal is basically my go-to breakfast most mornings. You can get your daily cup of coffee along with your breakfast bowl. It is a win win in my books!
I am hoping to convince all of you oatmeal haters out there to learn to love oatmeal. I won't stop until I convert every last one of you!
...Totally joking, but if you are an oatmeal hater, just try it one more time with fun toppings. Because for me, oatmeal is ALLLL about the toppings!
The topping on this oatmeal is SO GOOD. Peanut butter and figs are my new favourite combo. And if it sounds weird to you... yeah, it also sounded weird to me. But since I eat peanut butter literally every day, I needed to get creative with the flavour combos. And since I had dried figs lying around at home, it seemed like a natural fit.
If you have any interesting peanut butter combos that I should know about, I would love to hear them! I am always looking for new ways to enjoy my daily scoop.. or two.. of peanut butter.
Also, do you see the amount of peanut butter I put on this oatmeal? Just pretty enough for drizzle, but not enough for my tastes. You can bet that I added more peanut butter after that photo was taken!
I have been on a serious oatmeal kick lately that when John asks me to make him breakfast, all I want to do is make him oatmeal. But he eats like a bird in the morning, so I know that if I make him a bowl like the one I make here, he will maybe eat a quarter of it. And since I can't stand to see food waste, I will eat the rest, along with my own big bowl.
But for those who are usually FAMISHED in the mornings, this breakfast bowl is the perfect recipe to keep you full all the way until lunch.

Your oatmeal bowls always look amazing, John is one lucky fella to be offered this in the morning. I’m lucky if Michael offers me a bit of toast…lol he is not a morning person!
