This healthy oatmeal tastes like apple pie but don’t let either of those phrases fool you: it’s easy to make and politely cooks in the microwave for 6 minutes while you carry on about your morning.
Also, this healthy oatmeal is my kids’ new favorite breakfast.
Packed with fiber and good-for-you extras like cinnamon and chia seeds, I feel great about serving it because I know the kids will be happy and full all morning long.
