I don’t expect to post many recipes, but I have been eating this every day for the past week, so it’s practically autobiographical at this point: Chatelaine’s maple custard oatmeal. It’s one of my 5-year-old’s favourite breakfasts, and mine too. It’s filling, sweet but not too sweet, refined sugar-free, high-protein, made with whole grains, customizable, and delicious. Here’s my version:

High-Protein Maple Custard Oatmeal

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
