- Cinnamon: which gives this dish a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth and depth of flavor.

I’ve been making this Oatmeal with Flaxseed recipe for a while now and I’m obsessed! The addition of ground flaxseed really takes the oatmeal to the next level – it adds a nutty flavor and a boost of omega-3s and fiber.
I love that it’s so easy to make and can be customized with my favorite fruits and spices. One tip I’d like to share is to make sure to mix the flaxseed in well so it doesn’t clump up in the oatmeal. Also, I’ve found that using a flaxseed that’s been ground in a coffee grinder or food processor makes it easier to mix in and gives a smoother texture.
It’s hearty and so tasty
A good healthy dreamy breakfast
