For a long time I wasn’t a huge fan of oatmeal. I kind of had to force myself to eat it. Not fun. Then I discovered the key ingredients to making it actually taste good! This might not be the healthiest but everything in moderation right? It’s all about the salt and the butter! I always sweetened my oatmeal but I never thought that salt and butter would be the perfect thing to balance it out and really make it super tasty. This is the perfect bowl of oatmeal. It’s a little sweet and it’s got a little bit of crunch from the nuts and apple chunks.
