Maple Sugar Oatmeal

Recipes

With the brisk temperatures of January, a hearty breakfast of oatmeal sticks to your bones to keep you fueled throughout the morning. Adding locally sourced Meridan Hill Maple maple sugar to homemade oats eliminates unknown processed ingredients found in pre-flavored packets while giving you a more complex sweetness straight from the source.
This recipe can be made with overnight oats, quick-cooking oats, or steel-cut or old-fashioned oats. Keep your oatmeal creamy by adding in a touch of coconut oil and a splash of oat milk. Add as many or as few toppings as you like to your oatmeal. We suggest adding pecans, walnuts and raisins for an even heartier take on this classic New England breakfast. Store leftover oats in a storage container and place in the refrigerator.
