Sugary cereals are on top of my list to remove from my pantry. What is great about cereal is that it’s convenient, especially when you can’t be there to make a full course meal. Everyone can fend for themselves.

The only thing is trying to find the healthiest cereal box with it, making a hole in your pocket. And the only is to start making your own. I share this recipe here is just a basic recipe; you can add, subtract, and substitute any ingredient.

How to use oatmeal cereal?

• Use it just like any other cereal with your favortie milk.
• You can use it as a granola and top your favorite yogurt.
• Also is great eating it alone by the handfuls as if it were peanuts.

What else can you add to it?

This recipe here is a very basic cereal, but you can whatever you like or substitute as well. Here are some ideas…..
