4 Ways to Celebrate National Oatmeal Month
Oatmeal is a comforting, nutritious pantry staple that serves as the perfect base for so many meals. Traditionally thought of as a breakfast item, we've got lunch inspiration, snack recipes, and even oatmeal-based desserts.
January is National Oatmeal Month - let's celebrate with a few delicious FLIK-approved recipes that star oatmeal!
For Something Sweet
Skip the sugar or maple syrup on your oatmeal and top it with fresh fruit. Berries and stone fruit are delicious natural sweeteners that enhance your daily oatmeal routine.

If your mornings are hectic, try Overnight Oats. This simple preparation for oatmeal takes the guesswork out of "what's for breakfast" and serves as a great option to grab and go or eat right at your home desk without any mess.
