Surprisingly tasty oatmeal toppings
January is National Oatmeal Month

Oatmeal is a breakfast classic and we absolutely love it. Low in sugar, and packed with slow-releasing carbohydrates, fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals, it's one of the healthiest options we can have.
Classic porridge, however, can be a bit bland and not to everyone's taste. The solution? Oatmeal toppings.
Some ingredients will not only give your oats some flavor, but they will also add to its nutritional value. In this gallery, you'll find a selection of tasty and healthy oatmeal toppings, from sweet to savory.
Click through and take your oatmeal to the next level today!
