Start Your Mornings Right With This Quick and Easy 10-Minute Homemade Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Recipe

Start your mornings off right, and stay full until lunch with a warm bowl of Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal topped with a little more brown sugar and some pure maple syrup!

Oatmeal has always been one of my favorites, I even have it as a late night snack sometimes, but I like my oatmeal sweet!  I have always been a fan of those instant packets, and Maple Brown Sugar has always been my favorite! Come to think of it, it’s my Dad’s favorite, too.  He has a package every morning!  But, as an adult, there is a texture issue with me and the instant packages, which is why I make my own oatmeal now.

Rolled oats are always something I have in my pantry.  I use them for some of my favorite recipes like Banana Bread and Banana Flax Granola.  Rolled oats take about 5 minutes to cook instead of 1 minute like the quick oats, but the extra 4 minutes is totally worth it, and I bet after trying this recipe that you’ll agree too! The rest of the ingredients for this recipe are probably things that you already have in your pantry making it a great budget breakfast!
